Описание: Intelligence and Espionage: Secrets and Spies provides a global introduction to the role of intelligence, a key, but sometimes controversial, aspect of ensuring national security. The book draws on past examples to explore the use and misuse of intelligence, examine why failures take place and addresses important ethical issues over its use.
This fascinating account of how two young Americans turned traitor during the Cold War is an "absolutely smashing real-life spy story" (The New York Times Book Review).
At the height of the Cold War, some of the nation's most precious secrets passed through a CIA contractor in Southern California. Only a handful of employees were cleared to handle the intelligence that came through the Black Vault. One of them was Christopher John Boyce, a hard-partying genius with a sky-high IQ, a passion for falconry, and little love for his country. Security at the Vault was so lax, Boyce couldn't help but be tempted. And when he gave in, the fate of the free world would hang in the balance.
With the help of his best friend, Andrew Daulton Lee, a drug dealer with connections south of the border, Boyce began stealing classified documents and selling them to the Soviet embassy in Mexico City. It was an audacious act of treason, committed by two spoiled young men who were nearly always drunk, stoned, or both--and were about to find themselves caught in the middle of a fight between the CIA and the KGB.
This Edgar Award-winning book was the inspiration for the critically acclaimed film starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn--a true story as thrilling as any dreamed up by Ian Fleming or John le CarrE. Before Edward Snowden, there were Boyce and Lee, two of the most unlikely spies in the history of the Cold War.
"A balanced, objective, powerful story, which pulls you deeply into the lives of these young felons . . . You simply won't be able to dismiss them." --The New York TimesBook Review
"Compelling. The first book of the last two decades that makes us understand how the boy next door could become a superspy." --The New York Times
"Remarkable. A real-life spy story as gripping and full of suspense as anything one could invent. Robert Lindsey tells us everything we want to know about this odd couple. He has done a superb job of research and writing." --Ken Follett, #1 New York Times-bestselling author
Robert Lindsey (b. 1935) is a journalist and the author of several award-winning true crime books. He won the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime for The Falcon and the Snowman: A True Story of Friendship and Espionage, which the New York Times called "one of the best nonfiction spy stories ever to appear in this country."
Описание: China`s information war against the United States is technically clever, broadly applied and successful. The US intelligence community has publicly stated this is a kind of war we do not know how to fight. China`s political systems are more easily adapted to this form of warfare, as their recent land seizures in the South China Sea demonstrate.

Описание: Through dramatic incidents tells for the first time the full story of the development of Cold War naval intelligence from the end of WWII to the breakup the Soviet Union in 1991, from both sides, East and West. Unlike other accounts, which focus on submarine confrontations and accidents, the authors cover all types of naval intelligence, human collection (racing with the Soviets to capture Nazi subs, successful and losing spies and defectors), signal intelligence (surface, air, satellite and navy commando teams in balaclavas launched by speed boats from subs), acoustic (passive underwater arrays and tapping phone lines), and the aerial and space reconnaissance. The authors give details of operations in all these areas, some of which were witnessed first hand.
""A new light is shed on the spy ships incidents of the 1960s and on submarine intrusions in Swedish waters. Excerpts of the Soviet Navy instructions on UFOs and accounts of Soviet naval encounters with unexplained objects are also published for the first time outside of Russia; and much more.""
