THE RISE AND FALL OF INTELLIGENCE: AN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY HISTORY

Book ID/图书代码: 05121214B72341

English Summary/英文概要: This sweeping history of the development of professional, institutionalized intelligence examines the implications of the fall of the state monopoly on espionage today and beyond.

During the Cold War, only the alliances clustered around the two superpowers maintained viable intelligence endeavors, whereas a century ago, many states could aspire to be competitive at these dark arts. Today, larger states have lost their monopoly on intelligence skills and capabilities as technological and sociopolitical changes have made it possible for private organizations and even individuals to unearth secrets and influence global events.

Historian Michael Warner addresses the birth of professional intelligence in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century and the subsequent rise of US intelligence during the Cold War. He brings this history up to the present day as intelligence agencies used the struggle against terrorism and the digital revolution to improve capabilities in the 2000s. Throughout, the book examines how states and other entities use intelligence to create, exploit, and protect secret advantages against others, and emphasizes how technological advancement and ideological competition drive intelligence, improving its techniques and creating a need for intelligence and counterintelligence activities to serve and protect policymakers and commanders.

The world changes intelligence and intelligence changes the world. This sweeping history of espionage and intelligence will be a welcomed by practitioners, students, and scholars of security studies, international affairs, and intelligence, as well as general audiences interested in the evolution of espionage and technology.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这本专业发展和制度化情报的全面历史探讨了间谍的国家垄断的衰落对今天及以后的影响。

冷战期间,只有两个超级大国周围的同盟国维持着可行的情报活动,而在一个世纪以前,许多国家希望能在这些黑暗的艺术方面有一定的竞争力。今天,随着技术和社会政治的变化,私人机构甚至个人都可以发掘影响全球的秘密和事件,大国失去了垄断的情报技术和能力。

历史学家迈克尔•华纳探讨了诞生于二十世纪初的欧洲的专业情报和冷战期间美国情报的提升。他带来了最高情报机构用于反恐斗争的直到今天的历史,以及21世纪数字革命提升的情报能力。自始至终,本书探讨各国和其他实体如何用情报创造,利用和保护秘密的优势来对抗他人,并强调科技的进步和思想的竞争如何驱动情报,提高其技术,以及为情报和反间谍活动创造所需条件来服务和保护政策制定者和指挥官。

世界改变情报,情报改变世界。这个全面的间谍情报历史将受到安全研究,国际事务和情报领域的从业者,学生和学者以及对间谍和技术的发展感兴趣的一般读者的欢迎。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况:“这本书介绍了情报结构的演变和历史的旅程。迈克尔•华纳是唯一有资格进行这个旅程的人。这是一本重要的书, 华纳巧妙地展示了情报在结构,手段和目标方面的技术和意识形态的影响。这些因素塑造了上个世纪情报机构的性质,而且这些在今天一样重要。我们有必要来了解情报的进化过程,而迈克尔•华纳的书肯定开始这样做的最佳选择。”——迈克尔•古德曼,伦敦大学国王学院的战争研究系的情报和国际事务领域的讲师

"This book presents a tour de force through the history and evolution of intelligence structures. Michael Warner is uniquely qualified to conduct such a journey. This is an important book and Warner ably demonstrates the influences of technology and ideology on the structure, means, and objectives of intelligence. These factors have shaped the nature of intelligence establishments over the last century and are as important today as ever before. It behooves us to understand the present evolutionary course of intelligence, and Michael Warner’s book is surely the best means to start doing so." -- Michael Goodman, reader in intelligence and international affairs, Department of War Studies, King’s College London
