Produktbeschreibung

Sun Tzu said that it is as important to know yourself - and by extension, your allies - as it is to know your enemies. This is a study of the murky, ultra-sensitive business of gathering intelligence among, and forming estimates about, friendly powers, and friendly or allied military forces. States sometimes enter into coalitions or alliances mainly and explicitly because their intelligence evaluation of the potential partner concluded that making the alliance was, from the originator's national security interest, the best thing to do. This collection investigates this aspect of intelligence.

Inhaltsangabe

Foreign Affairs, Vol. 78, No. 2
"[An] excellent collection of articles from Intelligence and National
Security, the premier journal of intelligence studies."
Military Review -" These essays are far removed from the theme of military
intelligence, but their political and diplomatic focus is still important.
Anyone who has worked with allies or in combined operations will find much
thought provoking material in this collection"
The Journal of Military History- " a pathbreaking work...This is an
extremely interesting collection of essays, well worth reading by students
of intelligence. It is certain to live up to its editor"s hopes of
stimulating further detailed research into the ways in which allies, rather
than adversaries, have used intelligence in their evaluation of each other"
Low Intensity Conflict and Law Enforcement, Vol 7, No 2, Autumn 98
"Knowing Your Friends may be a breakthrough in the under-explored study of
espionage and intelligence assessmments of one"s friends because of its
goal to provoke further research and study. In this it has achieved its
purpose through, for the most part, significantly interesting chapters on
little-known subjects."
Cryptologia-" Written by experts in each area, the ten articles provide a
fascinating study of relationships and how they were affected by
information gathered from the use of intelligence methods.
