SynopsisNo war can be conducted successfully without early and good intelligence, wrote Marlborough, and from the earliest times, commanders have sought knowledge of the enemy, his strengths and weaknesses, his dispositions and intentions. series of important conflicts to develop an argument about intelligence in war. From the Napoleonic Wars to the sophisticated electronic warfare of the 21st century, John Keegan finds linking themes which lead to a compelling conclusion. His portrayals include the dilemmas of Nelson seeking Napoleon's fleet, Stonewall Jackson in the American Civil War, Bletchley as it seeks to crack Ultra during the Battle of the Atlantic, and the intelligence issues of the contemporary fight against terrorism.
