Revision of the Norwegian edition originally published 1997 under title: Strengt hemmelig / Olav Riste and Arnfinn Moland.

Translation of: Strengt hemmelig / Olav Riste og Arnfinn Moland.

"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."--Jacket

"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."--Jacket
