The collection brings together declassified documents illustrating the activities (both successes and failures) of the United States intelligence community in Asia during the Cold War period. There is a particular emphasis on relations with China, North Vietnam and North Korea (as the US’s principal antagonists during this period), but there are also documents relating to activities in Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia.
You can browse the document collection by year, or search by keywords.
Background information on the era, a glossary, and a bibliography are also provided to place the documents in their political and historical context.
