Title: The Norwegian intelligence service
Subtitle: 1945-1970
First published: 1999
Description: "This history of the Norwegian Intelligence Service (NIS) during the Cold War is the result of a unique enterprise: for the first time, a Western intelligence service has opened its most secret archives from the Cold War period to an independent historian.".

"After many imaginative and often speculative books about the Norwegian intelligence service, this book represents an authentic and thoroughly documented history.

The author presents detailed descriptions of the build-up of a network of Norwegian signals intelligence stations in the north; border crossings by clandestine agents; the reporting of Norwegian merchant mariners from ports behind the Iron Curtain; the intimate co-operation between the NIS and the secret services of the United States and other countries; as well as of the establishment of a 'Stay Behind' network."--BOOK JACKET.
