the value--and limitations--of what the military can learn about the enemy
Examines the value and limitations of intelligence in war. Explores the history of gathering intelligence over the years, from word-of-mouth delivered on horse, to telegraph and radio, to today's technological advances. Discusses examples of when intelligence contributed to military success or failure, including the defeat of Napoleon, Germany's unrecognizable V-2 rockets, victory over the Japanese at Midway, and today's efforts at tracking al-Qaeda.
