Krátky popis
'The most comprehensive narrative of intelligence compiled ...
unrivalled' Max Hastings, Sunday Times 'Captivating, insightful and
masterly' Edward Lucas, The Times The history of espionage is far
older than any of today's intelligence agencies, yet the long
history of intelligence operations has been largely forgotten. The
first mention of espionage in world literature is in the Book of
Exodus.'God sent out spies into the land of Canaan'. From there,
Christopher Andrew traces the shift in the ancient world from
divination to what we would recognize as attempts to gather real
intelligence in the conduct of military operations, and considers
how far ahead of the West - at that time - China and India were. He
charts the development of intelligence and security operations and
capacity through, amongst others, Renaissance Venice, Elizabethan
England, Revolutionary America, Napoleonic France, right up to
sophisticated modern activities of which he is the world's
best-informed interpreter. What difference have security and
intelligence operations made to course of history? Why have they so
often forgotten by later practitioners? This fascinating book
provides the answers.
