Seduced by Secrets, Smitten by Technology: Spy-Tech East and Spy-Tech West
In this image-rich presentation, Kristie Macrakis will compare and contrast East Bloc and American espionage technology and styles during the Cold War. While US large-scale technological systems like spy satellites, planes and submarines diverged from the East bloc style of doing espionage, both sides were remarkably similar in their construction and use of tradecraft in agent operations.
