Intelligence in War by John Keegan (m4a)

[I finally did it. Here's to all you who wanted this file and waited so patiently for me. Enjoy.] 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 Napoleonâ??s fleet in the Mediterranean and never knew it, while Stonewall Jackson was able to compensate for the Confederacyâ??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 Keeganâ??s finest achievements. From the Hardcover edition.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I have another surgery coming up, so I'll probably be off for a few weeks, but keep 'em seeded and I should be back pretty soon.

 spanikopita (2008-07-05)

I'll put up another interesting title while I'm at it. It's a little off my normal genre.

Hope the surgery is a complete success! (I'm still waiting in queue to have a knee replacement - thanks to arthritis, and will have tendons repaired late Sept.)
Thanks to your efforts in sharing great books, I listen & learn when I can't sleep from pain, or when I'm doing physio, or go for one of those walks the orthopaed insists I go for.
Just a personal Thank You for helping my situation be that much for tolerable. Best regards as always! :)
