Book Description
"Miles Copland is one of the handful of men in the world who really know what the spying business is all about. A man who has worked closely with the CIA and with the State Department, and the author of the best-selling The Game of Nations, Copeland has written, in Without Cloak or Dagger, the authoritative, definitive, complete description of today’s espionage game. Because the guidelines for the 1970s espionage systems of the great nations are so radically different from the traditional ones, no one has really explained how it all works – until now. The book ranges through the American CIA, the British SIS (or MI-6), the Soviet KGB, the French SDECE; from the espionage operations of World War II – whose long-term effects are still being felt – to today: the Vietnam post-mortems; Watergate; the ITT affair in Chile; the CIA’s “old boy net” troubles; the SIS shake-up that brought about the downfall of Jack Rennie, the “M” of James Bond fame." -- Book jacket.
