Excerpt: ... chapter ii in the big cities "There are no leaders to lead us to honour, And yet without leaders we rally, Each man reporting for duty alone, out of Sight, out of reach, of his fellow. There are no bugles to call the battalions, And yet without bugles we rally, From the ends of the earth to the ends of The earth, to follow the Standard of Yellow!" The Spies March, Kipling, in order to follow the development of espionage in war-time it is necessary to approach one's subject via the path of peace. In those distant days of 1914 when the voice of Lord Roberts could not be heard above the din of Ulster and the Kaiser was extremely affable to us here in England, Britain was spending 50,000 a year on her Secret Service and Germany twelve times that amount. Perhaps the nature and scope of pre-war espionage may be crystallised if we take the respective methods favoured by these two Powers. English espionage was probably as " white " as the doubtful art ever can be. In outline it was this: "Don't employ a bad character or a woman. Sooner or later they will fail you. Rely rather on information coming from trustworthy sources such as British Embassies, Legations and Consulates. Not much 6 peace espionage 7 that matters should escape official British representatives abroad. Besides, they require no payment and are working for their country. If others, such as prominent travellers and business men and officers on leave choose to send in reports--well and good.... However, in the case of Germany, things are different. If any country is going to fight us, that country will be Germany. Therefore we must broaden our espionage system on Germany." So it came to pass that a few British officers like Captains Trench and Bertram Stewart wandered innoce

Download or read book Haig s Intelligence written by Jim Beach and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haig's Intelligence is an important study of Douglas Haig's controversial command during the First World War. Based on extensive new research, it addresses a perennial question about the British army on the Western Front between 1916 and 1918: why did they think they were winning? Jim Beach reveals how the British perceived the German army through a study of the development of the British intelligence system, its personnel and the ways in which intelligence was gathered. He also examines how intelligence shaped strategy and operations by exploring the influence of intelligence in creating perceptions of the enemy. He shows for the first time exactly what the British knew about their opponent, when and how and, in so doing, sheds significant new light on continuing controversies about the British army's conduct of operations in France and Belgium and the relationship between Haig and his chief intelligence officer, John Charteris.

Download or read book The Meinertzhagen Mystery written by Brian Garfield and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tall, handsome, charming Col. Richard Meinertzhagen (1878-1967) was an acclaimed British war hero, a secret agent, and a dean of international ornithology. His exploits inspired three biographies, movies have been based on his life, and a square in Jerusalem is dedicated to his memory. Meinertzhagen was trusted by Winston Churchill, David Lloyd George, Chaim Weizmann, David Ben Gurion, T. E. Lawrence, Elspeth Huxley, and a great many others. He bamboozled them all. Meinertzhagen was a fraud. Many of the adventures recorded in his celebrated diaries were imaginary, including a meeting with Hitler while he had a loaded pistol in his pocket, an attempt to rescue the Russian royal family in 1918, and a shoot-out with Arabs in Haifa when he was seventy years old. True, he was a key player in Middle Eastern events after World War I, and during the 1930s he represented Zionism's interests in negotiations with Germany. But he also set up Nazi front organizations in England, committed a half-century of major and costly scientific fraud, and -- oddly -- may have been innocent of many killings to which he confessed (e.g., the murder of his own polo groom -- a crime of which he cheerfully boasted, although the evidence suggests it never occurred at all). Further, he may have been guilty of at least one homicide of which he professed innocence. A compelling read about a flamboyant rogue, The Meinertzhagen Mystery shows how recorded history reflects not what happened, but what we believe happened.

Download or read book A Genius for Deception written by Nicholas Rankin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1942, intelligence officer Victor Jones erected 150 tents behind British lines in North Africa. "Hiding tanks in Bedouin tents was an old British trick," writes Nicholas Rankin. German general Erwin Rommel not only knew of the ploy, but had copied it himself. Jones knew that Rommel knew. In fact, he counted on it--for these tents were empty. With the deception that he was carrying out a deception, Jones made a weak point look like a trap. In A Genius for Deception, Nicholas Rankin offers a lively and comprehensive history of how Britain bluffed, tricked, and spied its way to victory in two world wars. As Rankin shows, a coherent program of strategic deception emerged in World War I, resting on the pillars of camouflage, propaganda, secret intelligence, and special forces. All forms of deception found an avid sponsor in Winston Churchill, who carried his enthusiasm for deceiving the enemy into World War II. Rankin vividly recounts such little-known episodes as the invention of camouflage by two French artist-soldiers, the creation of dummy airfields for the Germans to bomb during the Blitz, and the fabrication of an army that would supposedly invade Greece. Strategic deception would be key to a number of WWII battles, culminating in the massive misdirection that proved critical to the success of the D-Day invasion in 1944. Deeply researched and written with an eye for telling detail, A Genius for Deception shows how the British used craft and cunning to help win the most devastating wars in human history.
