'What is intelligence, and how does it relate to the image of the spy in popular culture? How does the process of gathering, analyzing, and applying it actually work? And why is the word "intelligence" so often coupled with the word "failure"? Combining incisive conceptual analysis with wide-ranging historical case studies, Intelligence and Espionage: Secrets and Spies offers a timely introduction to a relatively new and rapidly burgeoning field of contemporary scholarship.'Bruce Thompson, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA
