"[Keegan] brings to the literature of war a deep affection for revealing details, and it's clear that he loves to be surprised by what he learns. His pleasure animates the material for his readers." -National Post "Keegan has not set out to debunk intelligence. Rather he has sought to place the clandestine underbelly of war in perspective, to wrest it from the popular imagination as some sort of entertaining shortcut to victory." -The New York Times "Read Keegan'sIntelligence in Warfor its wonderful narration and genuine insights into the details of intelligence operations." -The Globe and Mail From the Trade Paperback edition., "[Keegan] brings to the literature of war a deep affection for revealing details, and it's clear that he loves to be surprised by what he learns.

Synopsis
From the preeminent military historian of our time comes an unprecedented study of the influence of intelligence on war operations. of photos., In fiction, the spy is a glamorous figure whose secrets make or break peace, but, historically, has intelligence really been a vital step to military victories? In this breakthrough study, the preeminent war historian John Keegan goes to the heart of a series of important conflicts to develop a powerful argument about military intelligence. In his characteristically wry and perceptive prose, Keegan offers us nothing short of a new history of war through the prism of intelligence. He brings to life the split-second decisions that went into waging war before the benefit of aerial surveillance and electronic communications. The English admiral Horatio Nelson was hot on the heels of Napoleon's fleet in the Mediterranean and never knew it, while Stonewall Jackson was able to compensate for the Confederacy's disadvantage in firearms and manpower with detailed maps of the Appalachians. In the past century, espionage and decryption have changed the face of battle: the Japanese surprise attack at the Battle of the Midway was thwarted by an early warning. Timely information, however, is only the beginning of the surprising and disturbing aspects of decisions that are made in war, where brute force is often more critical. Intelligence in War is a thought-provoking work that ranks among John Keegan's finest achievements.
