{"product_id":"18163","title":"18163","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the Age of Nelson, espionage was extremely difficult. Today we communicate at almost the speed of light. In the days of sail, it could take weeks or longer to carry information to those who most needed it. The organization responsible to gather, analyze, and deliver secret intelligence had to evolve quickly. Maffeo offers a detailed examination of the methods and practices used and how information made its way to forces at sea by focusing mainly on Lord Nelson and his contemporaries, including the Americans and French, in the period 1793-1815. Maffeo includes anecdotes that bring history to life. He is a former naval intelligence officer and Associate Library Director at the US Air Force Academy. Book is like new.
