A fascinating and authoritative account of espionage for the digital age, this work by a leading intelligence expert reveals the complexities of modern spying. Despite the prevalence of spy-themed media, educational resources on intelligence are scarce, leading to misconceptions and conspiracy theories that hinder effective policy. The author separates fact from fiction, providing an engaging overview of American espionage's history, from Revolutionary War spies to contemporary spy satellites. Through extensive research and interviews with intelligence officials, the narrative examines the influence of fictional spies on real-world operations, outlines the basics of intelligence work, and discusses cognitive biases that can mislead analysts. It also delves into the challenges of traitors, covert actions, and congressional oversight. Importantly, the author highlights how digital technology is reshaping espionage, empowering new adversaries and enabling private citizens to track threats with tools like Google Earth. Cyberspace emerges as a critical battleground where deception and advanced technology fuel theft, espionage, and information warfare. This insightful exploration is essential for anyone seeking to understand the current landscape of spying.
