"Miles Copland is one of the handful of men in the world who really know what the spying business is all about. A man who has worked closely with the CIA and with the State Department, and the author of the best-selling The Game of Nations, Copeland has written, in Without Cloak or Dagger, the authoritative, definitive, complete description of today’s espionage game. Because the guidelines for the 1970s espionage systems of the great nations are so radically different from the traditional ones, no one has really explained how it all works – until now. The book ranges through the American CIA, the British SIS (or MI-6), the Soviet KGB, the French SDECE; from the espionage operations of World War II – whose long-term effects are still being felt – to today: the Vietnam post-mortems; Watergate; the ITT affair in Chile; the CIA’s “old boy net” troubles; the SIS shake-up that brought about the downfall of Jack Rennie, the “M” of James Bond fame." -- Book jacket.

The story of a British spy from the intense training, to undercover work fighting the Nazis and to his efforts to change the way former spies are forced to keep certain secrets forever.

This classic WWII spy memoir by an agent of the UK’s Special Operations Executive offers a firsthand look at Allied espionage inside Nazi Occupied France. In this gripping memoir, SOE agent Benjamin Cowburn vividly recounts the methods of British special agents who were dropped into Vichy France during World War II with a mission of establishing secure networks with the French Resistance. His account sheds light on the views of both the Resistance fighters facing torture at the hands of the Gestapo and their besieged French countrymen. Cowburn also shares fascinating insight into the art of spying from establishing a worthy target to executing an operation. He tells the full story of his own sabotage operations, including the destruction of cylinders for thirteen locomotives in the dead of night. As in so many operations, mistakes were made which could have led to numerous arrests. In this case, the details of the operation had accidentally been left on a blackboard in the school where they had planned the raid, but were luckily scrubbed out by the headmaster's wife. On another occasion, Cowburn snuck itching powder into the laundry of Luftwaffe agents to cause a disruption. This new edition contains an Introduction by M.R.D. Foot and a Foreword by Sebastian Faulks.
