“The Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance” podcast takes listeners on a tour of the Cold War’s most secretive battlefields. It details the various ways spies, intelligence agencies, military and security services on both sides of the Iron Curtain “played” the Cold War and it finds that the conflict was very much a global and, at times, a very “hot” Cold War. This award-winning podcast takes recently declassified documents and reveals that not every alliance was sacred, that military assistance was an ‘export commodity’, and that fake news was an old tool from the Cold War spy kit.

Ep.10: Cuba and the Secret World

Cuba’s world of intelligence and counterintelligence during the Cold War is very much a secret to this day, as researchers are not allowed to peek into the Cuban files. However, we know that Fidel Castro despised the USA and wowed to fight it to his last breath, that Cuba’s intelligence used very different techniques for recruiting agents than the US and that the CIA was struggling to operate in Cuba. How do we know this? In Episode 10 Dr. James Lockhart studies information from defectors to piece together the story of Cuba’s secret world.
