414. Calder Walton - "Spies" Charts Century-long War of 'Hot' and 'Cold' Espionage Between East and West.

Calder Walton is a world-leading expert on intelligence, national security, and geopolitics. He has written two books, the latest of which is “SPIES. The Epic Intelligence War between East and West” (2023). It is a best-selling exposé of the history of Russian intelligence, that challenges the idea that the Cold War ended with the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, but in fact continued after, down to the present day. Today, he argues, the West is in a new Cold War with Russia and China. ---------- LINKS: https://calderwalton.com/ https://twitter.com/calder_walton https://www.linkedin.com/in/calder-walton-a9034590/ https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Calder-Walton/190278440 https://www.belfercenter.org/person/calder-walton ---------- BOOKS: Spies: The epic intelligence war between East and West (2023) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spies-epic-intelligence-between-East-ebook/dp/B0B37519PL?ref_=ast_author_mpb ---------- ARTICLES: https://www.economist.com/culture/2023/07/20/calder-waltons-spies-is-a-riveting-history-of-espionage https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/china-is-using-every-trick-for-world-domination-97xm3hcxn https://www.ft.com/content/b037b640-0365-41f6-a98b-bdd797fc0da4 https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-12-16/ai-not-human-spies-will-drive-the-new-us-china-cold-war https://theconversation.com/profiles/calder-walton-1436266 ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
