Description
Special Duty: A History of the Japanese Intelligence Community
This book explores the complex history of Japan's intelligence community, from its pre-war struggles to its post-war evolution. Richard J. Samuels examines how shifts in the strategic environment, technological change, and past failures have shaped Japan's approach to intelligence gathering and analysis.
Samuels reveals how Japanese leaders have struggled to strike a balance between power and insight, with periods of excessive hubris and debilitating bureaucratic competition punctuating the nation's efforts. He also highlights the key milestones in Japan's development of its intelligence capability, including the adoption of new technologies and the recognition of the importance of striking this balance.
