Operation Gladio: How NATO ran secret Nazi terror armies

Illustration by Ben Norton.

Almost a year ago I started publishing a series of articles about Gladio, a clandestine network of terrorist armies across Europe which were dominated by Nazis and fascists and which was run by NATO to undermine the left.

This post collects together all three parts of that series, as well as my media appearances on the subject. I’ll update the online version with anything new in the future.

My three-part series can be accessed by paying subscribers only — the other posts are free (the Radio Free Amanda podcast episode was initially behind the paywall but is now unlocked).

A much higher quality version of the BBC series Gladio has now been uploaded to YouTube, so I’ve embedded those videos in that post.
