Raymond Garthoff. Soviet Leaders and Intelligence: Assessing the American Adversary during the Cold War
Съветските лидери и разузнаването. Оценка на американския противник по време на Студената война
Language: Bulgarian. Category: Cold War

During the Cold War, the political leadership of the Soviet Union avidly sought intelligence about its main adversary, the United States. Although effective on an operational level, Soviet leaders and their intelligence chiefs fell short when it came to analyzing intelligence. Soviet leaders were often not receptive to intelligence that conflicted with their existing beliefs, and analysts were reluctant to put forward assessments that challenged ideological orthodoxy.
