Cover of Eyes, Ears, and Daggers

Eyes, Ears, and Daggers

"Thomas H. Henriksen provides a historical perspective on the evolving relationship between America's intelligence and operations communities in the war against terror. He first looks at the early, then unconventional ventures into cloak-and-dagger operations during the American Revolution, the Civil War, and World War I. The author then shows how World War II and the aftermath of the Cold War revolutionized American attitudes." — Inside cover
