Matters of Consequence What Would You Do?: Cold War Scenarios of Strategy and Espionage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180422897)

The Cold War was fought with secrets, suspicion, and decisions made under pressure.

A diplomat receives an unexpected offer. A defector arrives without warning. A trusted colleague may be a spy. A routine phone call feels wrong. A surveillance team loses sight of its target for thirty seconds.

What would you do?

In Matters of Consequence, you step into the role of the decision-maker. Drawing inspiration from the real tradecraft, tensions, and intelligence dilemmas of the Cold War, this interactive volume places you in dozens of scenarios involving espionage, counterintelligence, surveillance, recruitment, deception, diplomacy, and national security.

Inside you'll find:

- 50 Cold War case files that place you at the center of the action
- Interactive decision-making challenges
- Counterintelligence and espionage scenarios
- Historical case studies and intelligence lessons
- Recruitment, surveillance, and tradecraft exercises
- Intelligence services, terminology, and personnel profiles
- Cold War reference material and archival features

There are no grades and no perfect answers.

Some decisions succeed. Others fail. Many reveal consequences nobody saw coming.

The question is not whether you can change history.

The question is what you would have done when history was still unfolding.
