Decision Advantage

Intelligence in International Politics from the Spanish Armada to Cyberwar

Beschreibung

In Decision Advantage, Jennifer E. Sims examines the role of intelligence in international conflict throughout history to show that intelligence has been a measurable, buildable, and consequential form of power over centuries. Diving deep into the history of the 16th Century's Spanish Armada, two Civil War battles, the hunt for President Lincoln's assassin, and key diplomatic crises before the two World Wars, Sims develops insights into how competitors have created and used intelligence power to their advantage, including winning against otherwise stronger opponents.
