In 1996 a series of articles in the Californian mgazine Ramparts revealed the links of most international youth and student organizations with the CIA. The revelations appaled many of their members and a number of organizations did not survive the scandal. But to understand why the CIA had operated within the western youth and student movements one needs to start with Moscow and not with Washington. The Bolsheviks were in fact the first to have throught of using the young as a political and ideological weapon; and they had done this ever since 1917. In 1946 the Soviet Union had an influence over organized youth and students that was then practically uncontested. Western governments were slow to perceive, let alone to take up, the challenge; but in the light of the Cold war it was inevitable that they would respond. The book shows how first the British, then the French, and finally the American governments, came to encourage and support the opponents of communism in the youth and student movements.
