The war of the secret services
Espionage, Deception and Covert Operations in the Struggle of States
Intelligence agencies operate in secret, but their decisions can change the course of wars, overthrow governments and affect the political balance of entire continents. This book takes you through the history of modern espionage and shows how states tried to spy on their opponents, deceive them and weaken them from within.
It focuses on some of the most significant intelligence operations of the twentieth century. These include the emergence of modern intelligence services, radio reconnaissance in the First World War, the battle for the German encryption machine Enigma, Soviet spy networks, the Cambridge Five, nuclear espionage, the Berlin secret service war as well as covert operations in Iran, Guatemala, Cuba, Chile and Afghanistan.
The book explains not only what happened, but also why governments, agents and militaries acted in this way. It examines political interests, ideological beliefs, strategic constraints, personal motives, and moral conflicts. It becomes clear that intelligence services were by no means omniscient. Warnings were ignored, information was misjudged and apparent successes often led to long-term crises.
The technical developments are also classified in an understandable way. From intercepted telegrams and secret radios to code breaking and double agents to reconnaissance aircraft and satellites, the book shows how the invisible war changed with the possibilities of its time.
The War of the Secret Services is aimed at readers interested in history who want to get a well-founded and easy-to-understand overview of this fascinating topic. The book is not intended as a scientific reference for historians, but as a factual, lively and understandable introduction to the political, military and human background of the history of espionage.
A book about secret information, political deception, ideological loyalty and the question of how far states can go in the name of their security.
