INTELLIGENCE IN WAR(ISBN=9780375700460) epub 下载 pdf 网盘 2025 mobi 在线 免费

John Keegan, whose many books, including classic histories of

the two world wars, have confirmed him as the premier miltary

historian of our time, here presents a masterly look at the value

and limitations of intelligence in the conduct of war.

Intelligence gathering is an immensely complicated and vulnerable

endeavor. And it often fails. Until the invention of the telegraph

and radio, information often traveled no faster than a horse could

ride, yet intelligence helped defeat Napoleon. In the twentieth

century, photo analysts didn’t recognize Germany’s V-2 rockets for

what they were; on the other hand, intelligence helped lead to

victory over the Japanese at Midway. In Intelligence in

War, John Keegan illustrates that only when paired with

force has military intelligence been an effective tool, as it may

one day be in besting al-Qaeda.
