historical cases of cultural intelligence used in campaign planning?
I am looking for historical cases where cultural intelligence has been used in campaign planning... I was originally looking at examining Soviet plans found in the East German archives after the Cold War that detailed the Soviet approach to invading Iran; but I was unable to find sufficient material. Is anyone familiar with the Soviet plans or have any suggestions of other campaigns that use cultural intelligence to formulate plans? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cultural Intel, KGB Style
Wallace,
I was told that Latvian Edmunds Johanson recently completed writing his memoirs. "Notes of a KGB General". According to the sweet ol' lady in archives, Johanson was the last head of the former Soviet/Latvian secret service, appointed in 1990. He reportedly goes into great detail about structure and "tales" of various special ops.
I have no idea whether Johanson got into "culture" !
