Intelligence in War: The Value--And Limitations--Of What the Military Can Learn about the Enemy (Vintage) Book

John Keegan, whose many books, including classic histories of the two world wars, have confirmed him as the premier miltary historian of our time, here presents a masterly look at the value and limitations of intelligence in the conduct of war.Intelligence gathering is an immensely complicated and vulnerable endeavor.
