Cold War Origins How the CIA Was Forged | Greg Haddrick & Jeremy Fox | BBC Radio Drama

Описание: In this gripping BBC Radio Drama, writers Greg Haddrick and Jeremy Fox trace the secret beginnings of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) — from the chaos of post–World War II Europe to the dawn of the Cold War.
Before it became a global powerhouse of covert operations, the CIA was a fragile experiment — built on moral compromise, political ambition, and the paranoia of a world divided by ideology.

As rival nations raced to control secrets, spies, and science, America’s fledgling intelligence agency was forged not in honor, but in uncertainty — shaped by both visionaries and manipulators.
This is the untold story of how modern espionage began, and how the shadows of that creation still stretch across the world today.

💌 What you’ll hear:
• A richly detailed dramatization of the CIA’s origins and hidden motives 🧊
• Intrigue, deception, and ideological warfare in the early Cold War
