Ep.9: Spying blind among cedar trees

from The Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance Hosted by Katarina Urban Richterova

In Episode 9 we travel to “the Eldorado of spies”, “the Paris of the Middle East”, “the Vienna of the Cold War”. Where is that? Dr. Przemysław Gasztold from War Studies University in Warsaw shares surprising stories about Polish military officers and their spying abilities. How can guns help you make friends and how can one party at the Czechoslovak embassy help you turn a decade of failure into a decade of success? Listen to a fascinating story of the eastern bloc country of Poland and its endeavours in the Middle East, setting up and operating a spying hub in the Eldorado of spies, Beirut.
