Espionage and Counterespionage: Adventures in Military Intelligence

This is the story of military intelligence told from the point of view of the men and women trained to penetrate "the fog of war." It is not a record of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency, or any peacetime security organization, but the everyday operations of agents who have contributed to their country's military campaigns in all parts of the world. Some gained high awards and public acclaim, some never lived to relate their adventures.All too often many of them were victims of the circumstances they tried to forestall. Most were valorous, or consumed with inexhaustible energy. Others were more dedicated than adept, and some were not cut out for the work and soon went down to tragic defeat. The case of Mata Hari is typical of this group.
