WISE – ROSS : The espionage establishment (fülszöveg)
The Espionage Establishment
describes in unprecedented detail — much of it secret until now — the espionage operations and organizations of the major powers, focusing on the Soviet
Union, Great Britain, Communist China and the United States.
Some of its remarkable revelations include:
• how the KGB, the Soviet intelligence organization, used President Kennedy's funeral for espionage purposes
• the identity of one of the most powerful men in England, the legendary head of M.L6, and his secret London headquarters
• how the KGB's effort to purchase dairy farms along the U.S.-Canadian border touched off a sex-and-security scandal
• how the CIA established a secret Domestic Operations Division — only a block from the White House
• a portrait of Red China's aging spy master, and how his "Social Affairs Department" operates throughout the world
• the full, fascinating story of how Soviet intelligence dispatched two spies to the U.S. with adopted names and identities of two innocent Americans
• how President Kennedy and Attorney General Robert Kennedy arranged the first "spy trade" of the Cold War
• how the Director of the CIA flunked a James Bond test at the LBJ Ranch
As the New York Times predicted, the authors' last book, The Invisible Government, has brought about a "fundamental reappraisal" of the CIA. Now The Espionage Establishment cuts through fantasy and fiction to disclose the increasingly powerful role of espionage in international affairs, how it is fast changing, and how governments try to control the espionage explosion they have created.
In gathering material for The Espionage Establishment, the authors traveled to England, the Soviet Union, Eastern and Western Europe, and Asia. The result is a dramatic, significant and provocative book, of major importance to everyone interested in the real world in which we live.
