IN SPIES WE TRUST: THE STORY OF WESTERN INTELLIGENCE
Book ID/图书代码： 12577512B58326
English Summary/英文概要： IN SPIES WE TRUST is based on in-depth interviews with an unrivaled range of intelligence officials from the US, the UK, France, and other EU countries, and reveals for the first time the full story of the special relationship between British and American intelligence agencies and how it shaped the world from WWI to today.
Why did we ever start trusting spies? It all started a hundred years ago. First we put our faith in them to help win wars, then we turned against the bloodshed and expense and asked our spies instead to deliver peace and security. At its peak in the 1940s and 1950s, the ’special intelligence relationship’ between America and Britain shaped what was then the Anglo-American century. But from the 1960s this ’special relationship’ went into decline. Britain weakened, American attitudes changed, and the fall of the Soviet Union dissolved the fear that bound London and Washington together. A series of intelligence scandals along the way further eroded public confidence. Yet even in these years, the CIA and MI6 dominated national security and international relations in the West and heavily influenced how it saw the world. In the twenty-first century, the relationship has shifted again. This book not only explains the past but also examines the many options available for the future.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在对美国，英国，法国以及其他欧盟国家情报局官员深入采访后，《对间谍的信任》基于这样的基础才应运而生，此书揭露了英国与美国情报局之间特殊关系的第一手资料，以及从第一次世界大战至今，两国情报局是如何形成的。
为什么我们会开始相信间谍呢？这要从100多年前说起。我们起初信任间谍是因为我们抵制流血和牺牲，向往和平与稳定，于是我们就要借助间谍的力量来帮我们赢得战争。上世纪40,50年代是间谍战的高峰期，英美两国间的特殊关系塑造了“英美时代”。但从60年代后，这种关系就开始衰弱了。因为英国的发展落后了，美国的态度便因此转变了，而且苏联政府的解体也消除了伦敦和华盛顿结合在一起的理由。一系列的情报局丑闻瓦解了政府的公信力。甚至在近几年里，中情局和中央六处依旧在国家安全和西方国家间的国际关系问题处理中占主导地位，并深刻影响着人们看待世界的态度。在21世纪，这种关系又将发生一次大的改变。这本书不仅分析了过往的形势，更对未来提出了种种假设。(XAT)
