Riassunto

In this comprehensive encyclopedia, Polmar, a defense consultant, and Allen, former editor at the National Geographic Society, cover every aspect of espionage from spies, agencies and operations to tools and terms. The inclusiveness extends to the chronology they provide, which beings in 1800 BC with Joseph's brothers and ends with George Tenet's declaration in 2004 that no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq.
