Albanian Operation of the CIA and MI6, 1949-1953 - Bethell, Nicholas

The Albanian Operation, carried out by British and American secret services from 1949 to 1953, was one of the first Western attempts to subvert a country behind the Iron Curtain. The story was first pieced together by Nicholas Bethell in his 1984 book The Great Betrayal: The Untold Story of Kim Philby's Biggest Coup. This volume throws new light on what actually took place.
