the definitive book on Soviet disinformation

This 226-page volume of indexed and footnoted memoirs by former Czechoslovakian intelligence operative Ladislav Bittman contains the details of Soviet disinfomation methods, and describes the "purposeful and cunning games played in Washington to manipulate politicians, governmental bureaucrats, and the press". Chapter 1 is titled, "Recollections of a Former Perpetrator", but this book goes far beyond being merely a diary, in that the author outlines in detail the means and methods used by both sides during the height of the Cold War, and still being used today.From the dustcover:- The author, former Deputy Director of the Czechoslovakian Disinformation Department, reveals how the Soviet disinformation game is played.- He discloses how, why, and when specific US, European, and other national leaders have been maligned unintentionally by distinguished free-world media representatives who have been cleverly misled.- This exciting and authoritative book reveals that the spectrum of KGB active measures is much broader, and their operations more skillful, harder to detect, and far more dangerous than the Western world knows.
