Following Curzon’s interesting post on the historicity of the heart symbol my blog of recent discovery — Kent’s Imperative — calls for new insights and interpretations on historical intelligence studies. We at Coming Anarchy highly endorse looking to the past, and the field of intelligence is certainly a neglected field. KI refers us to a book on int activities in ancient Rome, Intelligence Activities in Ancient Rome: Trust in the Gods But Verify by Col. Rose Mary Sheldon which looks great. Anyone else have some good references?

Other good books are "Between Silk and Cyanide", "Target Tokyo" about Richard Sorge's spy ring, "A Secret Life" by Benjamin Weiser about a Soviet spy for the US, "A Spy for All Seasons" by Duane Clarridge (take it with a grain of salt, but it's still a good book and very entertaining), "The Wizard's War"... many many good books on intelligence.
