The CIA From The Cold War To Today

City Lights Publishers

Since its creation in the late 1940s, the CIA has changed from a relatively limited intelligence agency to a big player in America's military complex. 

On Tuesday's Up to Date, Steve Kraske sits down with ex-CIA analyst Mel Goodman to talk about the changing role of the CIA throughout history. We'll discuss how different presidents transformed the powers and operations of the agency during the Cold War, the War on Terror, and today.

Guest:

  • Mel Goodman is an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University and author of National Insecurity

HEAR MORE: Mel Goodman speaks at 6:30 p.m. June 3 at the National Archives, 400 W. Pershing Road in Kansas City, Mo.
