Spionbasen

Since the early 1950s, Norwegian foreign intelligence has maintained a secret, formal and direct collaboration with the NSA and the CIA, outside the scope of NATO. Stalking the Bear is the first uncensored book on how this cooperation, aimed at the Soviet Union and later Russia, developed. It tells the stories of the Norwegian Intelligence Service's stations in Northern Norway, close to the Russian border, and through personal interviews, former Norwegian intelligence officers give a unique look into one of the world's foremost intelligence alliances. To what extent does the collaboration serve American interests, to what extent Norwegian, and how much of it is under democratic Norwegian control?
