ESPIONAGE - KRISTIE MACRAKIS KARTONIERT (TB)

A concise introduction to the history and methods of espionage  illustrated by spy stories from
antiquity to today’s high-tech world. Espionage is one of the most secret of human activities.
It is also  as the popularity of spy stories suggests  one of the most intriguing. This book
pulls the veil back on the real world of espionage  revealing how spying actually works. In a
refreshingly clear  concise manner  Kristie Macrakis guides readers through the shadowy world
of espionage  from the language and practice of spycraft to its role in international politics
its bureaucratic underpinnings  and its transformation in light of modern technology. Espionage
is a mirror of society and human foibles with the added cloak of secrecy and deception.
Accordingly  Espionage traces spying all the way back to antiquity  while also moving beyond
traditional accounts of military and diplomatic intelligence to shine a light on industrial
espionage and the new techno-spy. As thorough—and thoroughly readable—as it is compact  the
book is an ideal introduction to the history and anatomy of espionage.
