What Part did the American CIA and the British SIS (M16) PLAY DURING THE Cold War in Asia? How significant was the role of intelligence and propaganda in the Malayan Emergency? What was the role of Security Advisers in Vietnam and the Philippines? Did Taiwan deliberately risk a ‘Hot War’ with Communist China through its provocative subversive activities? Where sensitive Chinese or Soviet communications decrypted and read by the West in Asia?
Asia represented the ‘hottest theater of the Cold War with several declared wars and undeclared wars was always in progress and the periodic threat of the use of Nuclear weapons. Yet despite the vast outpouring of newly declassified materials and revealing memoirs that has followed the end of the Cold War, the Asian dimension of this struggle remains comparatively neglected. Some of its clandestine aspects remain particularly murky and poorly understood.
In this volume, arrange of clandestine activities from intelligence and propaganda to special operations and security support are examined. These subjects are addressed by some of the leading British, American and Asian Scholars in the field drawing of recent research into the newly open archives.
 

A range of clandestine Cold War activities in Asia, from intelligence and propaganda to special operations and security support, is examined here. The contributions draw on newly-opened archives and a two-day conference on the subject. - from Amzon
