DAVID WISE and THOMAS ROSS
The Espionage Establishment
Jonathan Cape
LONDON
1968
DESCRIPTION
Book measures 220mm x 150mm approximately.
Hardback book with dust jacket.
CONDITION
In very good condition generally. The book is strong and tight. The dust jacket is also in very good condition, with only a few minor creases to the edges and spine foot. Internally the pages are very clean apart from a 2" x 3" approximately stain mark to the rear end-paper which extends partially to the inner back flap.
INTERESTING
The authors offer an inside look at the operations, methodology, and personalities of the spy establishments of the United States, Great Britain, Russia and China. Of particular interest is the emphasis on the internal, domestic activities of spy agencies, especially the home front exploits of the CIA. The Espionage Establishment describes in startling detail the intelligence organizations and operations of the major military powers of the cold war era. Many of the facts that emerge rival the fabrications of fiction.
