FBISannexes[ndlr] Un instrument de travail incontournable pour la recherche sur la période contemporaine.

The Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) Daily Report has been the United States’ principal historical record of political open source intelligence for more than half a century. The original mission of the FBIS was to monitor, record, transcribe and translate intercepted radio broadcasts from foreign governments, official news services, and clandestine broadcasts from occupied territories. Providing a wealth of information from all countries outside of the U.S.—from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, the FBIS Daily Reports are an indispensable source for insights into decades of turbulent world history.
