Some New Cold War History Recommendations

I am a big history buff. I am particularly interested in stories about World War II and The Cold War. 

I came across a bunch of recently released Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) docs at the Federation of American Scientists (FAS.org):

• "The Secret War in Korea, June 1950 to June 1952," March 1964 [pdf]
  
• "Record of Paramilitary Action Against the Castro Government of Cuba, 17 March 1960 - May 1961," May 1961 [pdf]
• "The Evolution of Ground Paramilitary Activities at the Staff Level, October 1949-September 1955," November 1968 [pdf]
• "The Berlin Tunnel Operation, 1952-1956," 24 June 1968 [pdf]

They all have some pretty interesting information in them.  I am fascinated by considering what the redacted parts contain.

The Cold War has many different angles and perspectives. One of the other resources that is really interesting is from Tony Kahn over at WGBH's Morning Stories podcast.  Tony produced the following series called "BlackListed" (RSS):

In October 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee opened its hearing into Communist influence in the movie business and promptly denounced 19 prominent directors, producers, screenwriters, and actors as enemies of the state. One of them was Hollywood screenwriter Gordon Kahn, whose films include All Quiet on the Western Front and The African Queen.
    
In this six-part personal history of the Hollywood Blacklist, Gordon Kahn's son, Morning Stories producer Tony Kahn, tells the story of his father's 15 years of persecution and the fear that followed him, his family, and thousands of other Americans for being accused of having the wrong political ideas.

I have currently listened to three of six podcasts, and I am really enjoying this very well produced audio program.  No matter what your political views this is is a podcast that should not be missed.
