Before the Second World War, Josephine Baker (1906-1975) was one of the most famous performers in the world. She made her name dancing on the Parisian stage, but when war broke out she decided not to return to America. Instead, Baker turned spy for the French Secret Services. In this engaging, deeply researched study, Hanna Diamond tells the full story of Baker’s actions for the French and Allied powers in World War Two.

For Washington, China is a strategic competitor: the only country with both the will to reshape the world order and, increasingly, the means to do so. For Europe, the People's Republic is a "partner for cooperation, an economic competitor, and a systemic rival". For NATO, it is a "decisive enabler" of Russia's war against Ukraine. Yet Beijing's image is far more positive in the Global South, of which the PRC considers itself a part.

In the jungles of Vietnam, a secret war raged in silence. No uniforms. No front lines. Just names on a list—and orders to make them disappear. Shadow Warriors exposes the dark truths behind Operation Phoenix, the CIA-backed program that targeted the Viet Cong political infrastructure through assassination, psychological warfare, and covert intelligence operations. What began as a counterinsurgency initiative soon became a machine of fear—eliminating thousands, many without trial or evidence.

The Deeper State is about the elites, their secret societies, world power centers, and evil motivations behind the chaotic contemporary world pressing all life toward a final one world empire.

While America enjoyed apparent peacetime between Vietnam and 9/11, its Special Forces waged silent wars across the globe. Christopher Brewer's remarkable memoir finally reveals these classified operations, cleared for publication by the Department of Defense after decades of secrecy.

This is a collection of the letters I wrote to Noam Chomsky and L.Fletcher Prouty, and a few others, over a period of six years (1989-1995), along with some essays that derive from this correspondence. Opinion is still divided on the question of whether President Kennedy was assassinated because he had decided to withdraw from Vietnam. Chomsky is the primary advocate of one point of view, and I know of no one who has challenged him on it to the extent that I have, as documented in this book.

Intelligence Gathering: Front Line HUMINT Considerations I think since human beings first learned how to talk, they have been spying and telling tails on each other. The only thing that has changed with intelligence gathering from the time Sun Tzu wrote his classic book “The Art of War” in the 5th Century BC and today is the technological advancements that only really started to develop in the 20th century. The basics of HUMINT tradecraft, personal security, and recruiting informants, etc. are still very similar if not the same as in the times of Sun Tzu and earlier. The information and...

Intelligence collection was done by rulers from time immemorial. In this volume, Vappala Balachandran gives an archival account of how it was practised over the ages – “from the Land of Canaan on Jordan river in the pre-biblical times where it succeeded, to Galwan on Ghulam Rasool Galwan river in the 21st century where it failed”. The author was a high-level national intelligence collector, adjudicator, analyst, and policy adviser to the Government of India between 1976 and 1995.
