Underground agents and plots in the Cold War broadcasting war

In this week’s Czech History we look at one aspect of the Cold War, the
use of secret agents to spy on and disrupt the enemy’s propaganda
services. In particular, we focus on the circus that surrounded the return
of a Czechoslovak double agent Pavel Minařík 40 years ago in 1976 which
was aimed at discrediting the US financed and Munich-based broadcaster
Radio Free Europe.
