Reviews

"Entire libraries have been written about the Central Intelligence Agency and to a lesser extent the Office of Strategic Services. This has resulted in a lopsided and incomplete picture of the history of American intelligence. Transforming the intellectual landscape, Mark Stout delivers a magnificent historical narrative that charts the birth and development of modern American intelligence from the late nineteenth century through World War I. Stout provides a fascinating story packed not only with colorful characters and exciting escapades, but with careful scholarly assessments of subjects including intelligence collection, intelligence analysis, counterintelligence, and covert action. All future histories of American intelligence will need to reference this pioneering work."" - Christopher R. Moran, professor of US national security at the University of Warwick, UK, and coeditor in chief of the Journal of Intelligence History"
