This collection of the decades’ “best-of” from the online journal, Intelligence , offers a shocking glimpse into the frequently illicit and routinely immoral undertakings of states, whose harm to individuals, groups and countries is seldom recognized or understood by the public at large.

Fifteen thoroughly researched and documented chapters probe the clandestine workings of the world’s intelligence services from the CIA and the FBI in the US, MI5 and MI6 in Britain, the DGSE and DST in France, the Sûreté d’Etat in Belgium, all the way to the DINA in Chile and its ties with both the CIA and with the international “Black Orchestra” and its neo-Fascist assassins in Italy and Portugal.

“ Intelligence probes where others fail to look and offers interpretations that challenge the conventional wisdom.” Steven Aftergood, Federation of American Scientists
