The Cia Book Club by Charlie English
The Cia Book Club tells how US intelligence covertly sent millions of Western books into the Soviet bloc during the Cold War to circumvent censorship and offer alternative ideas and culture. It follows key figures—notably Bucharest-born George Minden—and describes the covert networks, risks, and moral tensions involved in bringing literature, art and reassurance to readers behind the Iron Curtain, without revealing outcomes.
