Cold War History

[close] This group is dedicated to the literature of the Cold War and the world of intelligence. We discuss espionage fiction and non-fiction, classic and contemporary, including John le Carré, Len Deighton, Helen MacInnes, Paul Vidich, Alan Furst and modern Cold War revival writers. The group is hosted by David Bickford, former senior intelligence official and author of Cold Protocol and the Katya series. Expect thoughtful discussion, reading recommendations, occasional insider context, and respectful debate. This is not a spoiler-free zone, but major plot points will be flagged. Cold War veterans, historians, writers and serious readers are especially welcome.
