Enemy in the Shadows: The World of Spies and Spying

Norman Gelb

4.9/5 (15480 ratings)

Description:‘Enemy in The Shadows’ explores the cunning world of the great spies of the past, unravelling their schemes which altered the course of history. Famous and obscure conspiracies, plots and tricks are uncovered, which assisted states to further their spheres of influence. Gelb also profiles great spymasters of history, such as Sir Francis Walsingham, whose networked foiled a plot to assassinate Elizabeth I. And consequently condemn Mary Queen of Scots. The mutually beneficial relationship between the advancement of espionage and progressive war techniques is highlighted. Aircrafts first used in WWI to gather intelligence were eventually adapted into bombers. Gelb explains ‘The Double Cross System’ during WWII, whereby the British fed falsified information to Germany, by operating the entire German espionage system in Britain, without German suspicion. Whether they choose to be a snoop or are blackmailed into it by officials, spies can found in the most ambiguous of places. The tactics of Soviet ‘sleeper’ spies who infiltrated German government agencies in WWII are explained. These ‘termite’ agents posed as civil servants, businessmen, and professionals, who waited until the opportune moment arose – when Germany declared war on Russia. Post-WWII, Russian surveillance revealed important atomic bomb secrets, gaining the country significant influence. This would have taken substantially longer to bring to light without undercover agents. China’s guarded attitude is revealed through the state’s reluctance to trust foreigners enough to assign them intelligence positions, which leads Gelb to surmise that over half the Chinese diplomats and foreign correspondents were undercover agents in 1976. ‘Enemy in the Shadows’ is an enlightening and engaging journey through the history of espionage.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
