Foreword
This chronology provides the Agency historian with a brief,
factual introduction to the main currents of the two turbulent
decades of world affairs after World War II, when the United
States emerged as leader of the Free World and when the Central
Intelligence Agency evolved as a significant instrument of US
national security policy in the cold war. The chronology
reflects CIA's development and progress not only as a central
agency for the analysis of intelligence information and the
preparation of strategic intelligence estimates but also as
an active, operational member of the US and Allied security
system.
The chronology consists of four parallel columns: column
1 cites occurrences of world-wide significance; column 2,
events of national interest; column 3, developments in the US
intelligence and national security communities; and column 4,
milestones in the evolution of the Agency. Included are,
public events of major political, diplomatic, military,.and
technological significance, as well as selected intra-Agency
activities.
In format and detail the chronology is necessarily selective
and terse. The historian will, of course, wish to exploit
the many specialized chronologies in his field--both'clas-
sified and unclassified. In addition, he will also find
useful the historical compilations prepared by the Library
of Congress for the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
United States Senate such as Background Information Relating
to Southeast Asia and Vietnam, 5th rev ed (91st Congress, lst
Session, 1969) and A Select Chronology and Background Documents
Relating to the Middle East, lst rev ed (91st Congress, 1st
Session, 1969). The numerous entries in the Annual Index of
the New York Times provide details on the day-to-day progress
of public affairs; Neville Williams' Chronology of the Modern
World, 1st American ed, New York, David McKay, 1967, is an
important British compilation; Andre Fontaine's two chrono-
logies in his History of the Cold War, New York, Pantheon,
1965, illuminate events from the French point of view; and
the latter part of William L. Langer's An Encyclopedia of
World History, 4th ed, Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1968,
furnishes a chronological survey of the postwar period in
its broadest historical perspective.
