Description

The Secret World: A History of Intelligence The history of espionage is far older than any of today's intelligence agencies, and yet the long history of intelligence operations has been largely forgotten. From the Book of Exodus, where God sent out spies into the land of Canaan, to the sophisticated modern activities of today, this book provides a comprehensive narrative of intelligence compiled by one of the world's leading experts. Christopher Andrew charts the development of intelligence and security operations and capacity through various periods and places, including Renaissance Venice, Elizabethan England, Revolutionary America, and Napoleonic France. He explores how these operations have shaped the course of history and why they have often been forgotten by later practitioners.
