This Palgrave Pivot examines the trajectory of American intelligence and foreign relations with Czechoslovakia by analyzing on all related and released President’s Daily Briefs (PDBs) from President Lyndon Johnson’s 1968-1969 administration. The result is an unprecedented view of the Oval Office's perception of this pivotal period in the Cold War and the evolving trajectory of intelligence reporting. Using advanced large language models, the authors refined and analyzed unstructured data, resulting in analytical outputs that provide critical insights into American categorization of events and intelligence priorities. This methodology also highlights the vast potential of artificial intelligence in historical analysis, underscoring new pathways for understanding pivotal geopolitical episodes.
