““SPIES LIKE US”SPIES LIKE US”• The usage of spies and espionage by both the U.S. &
the U.S.S.R. highlighted the fact that both countries viewed the other as a threat
• Both were untrusting of the other’s actions and working in secret, these spies would pass sensitive information to the country they worked for in an effort to help them “win” the Cold War
• Some spies were double-agents working for the country they were, supposedly, spying on
• Later, military technology developed methods of espionage that did not require “human intelligence”
