Publication Date: 2022-02-01
Drawing on decades of research and hundreds of interviews with intelligence officials, Zegart provides a history of U.S. espionage; examines how fictional spies are influencing real officials; gives an overview of intelligence basics and explains the deadly cognitive biases that can mislead analysts. It also describes how technology is empowering new enemies and opportunities, and creating powerful new players, such as private citizens who are successfully tracking nuclear threats using little more than Google Earth.
