商品簡介
Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Intelligence addresses issues from ancient history and the Middle Ages through modern times, covering the decline of the Ottoman Empire, intelligence activity in the Middle East during and between the two world wars, and the interplay between colonial and local intelligence and counterintelligence agencies of the period. It also explores the relatively new fundamentalist terrorist organizations that have had a significant impact on international relations and on the structure and deployment of intelligence, counterintelligence, and other security organs in the Middle East today. With a chronology, an introductory essay, and more than 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important events, key organizations, and people, this reference is invaluable for those interested in the current situation in the Middle East.
