For followers of each actual spy dramas and fictional ones—each Ben Macintyre and John le Carré—the story of why spies spy.
Why do individuals put their lives in danger to gather intelligence? How do intelligence companies be sure that the brokers they recruit do their bidding and do not betray them? What makes the proper spy? Drawing on interviews with energetic and former British, American, Russian, European, and Asian intelligence officers and brokers, Michael Smith creates a layered portrait of why spies spy, what motivates them, and what makes them efficient.
Love, intercourse, cash, patriotism, danger, journey, revenge, compulsion, doing the best factor— specializing in the motivations, The Anatomy of a Spy presents a wealth of spy tales, some beforehand unknown and a few well-known, from the very human angle of the brokers themselves. The accounts of precise spying prolong from historic historical past to the current, and from working brokers contained in the Islamic State and al-Qaeda to the current Russian energetic measures campaigns and operations to affect votes within the UK, European Union, and United States, penetrating so far as Trump Tower if not the White House.
