Munkám során igyekszem bemutatni a nők kémkedésben betöltött szerepét a nagy háború során. Megvizsgálom néhány jelentősebb kémnő történetét és sorsuk alakulását. Szerepük kiemelten fontos volt már ...abban az időben is, nemzetbiztonsági szempontból, hiszen az általuk végzett tevékenység, a megszerzett információ előnyhöz juttathatta az egyik hadviselő felet a másikkal szemben. Ezért az elhárításnak is lényeges volt tudnia ezekről a személyekről és tevékenységükről.
Why do spies have such cachet in the twentieth century? Why do they keep reinventing themselves? What do they mean in a political process? This book examines the tradition of the spy narrative from ...its inception in the late nineteenth century through the present day. Ranging from John le Carré's bestsellers to Elizabeth Bowen's novels, from James Bond to John Banville's contemporary narratives, Allan Hepburn sets the historical contexts of these fictions: the Cambridge spy ring; the Profumo Affair; the witch-hunts against gay men in the civil service and diplomatic corps in the 1950s.
Instead of focusing on the formulaic nature of the genre,Intrigueemphasizes the responsiveness of spy stories to particular historical contingencies. Hepburn begins by offering a systematic theory of the conventions and attractions of espionage fiction and then examines the British and Irish tradition of spy novels. A final section considers the particular form that American spy narratives have taken as they have cross-fertilized with the tradition of American romance in works such as Joan Didion'sDemocracyand John Barth'sSabbatical.
Espionage is a concept which deals with the activity of anyone who is secretly or inappropriately gathering information for the benefit of the enemies. This concept is described as a guilty deed for ...having the conditions stated in the jurisprudential sources and laws. By evaluation of Quranic and narrative teachings, researchers have investigated the grounds for criminalization, according to John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism theory, and the theory of Refinement or filtering, which anticipates the criminalization process by providing Three-fold filters. The findings will be applicable to the entire global security institutions, agencies and organizations.
In this paper I investigate the quite long-term relationship of the War Councillor and expert of the Ottoman Empire, Johann Rudolf Schmid (1590–1667) and the renegade spy, Hans Caspar or Huseyn ...chiaus (?–1660?). The careers of these two persons can be well reconstructed. Both might have been captives in the Ottoman Empire, but while the Swiss Schmid remained Christian, Hans Caspar, who was born in Vienna as Alexander Fischer, converted to Islam and received the name Huseyn. They must have known each other at least since 1629 and Schmid helped Huseyn on multiple occasions, especially after 1647, to become a spy for the Council of War, because until that time he had only been a local spy of the commanders of the Habsburg–Ottoman frontier. The renegade regarded Schmid in his reports as his patron and shared with him reports on not only politically relevant events, but also several of those of his everyday-life. Although he regularly called the diplomat his patron, yet no sources have been obtained so far underlining that Schmid also considered him as a client. Moreover, Hans Caspar was mentioned in the sources most of the time as a renegade, and that is why their relation cannot be regarded as a classical patron-client relation: they were subjects of two different empires. Despite their different courses of life, they could profit from each other, because Hans Caspar received frequent remunerations for his intelligence services. Thus, he became known among the War Councillors, and in line with this, Schmid was enabled to get access to some secret information about the politics of the actual vizier of Buda by the knack of the ingenious reports transmitted to him by Caspar. This case study offers a better understanding of the functioning of the Habsburg– Ottoman frontier diplomacy in the mid-17th century
Why did the US intelligence services fail so spectacularly to know about the Soviet Union's nuclear capabilities following World War II? As Vince Houghton, historian and curator of the International ...Spy Museum in Washington, DC, shows us, that disastrous failure came just a few years after the Manhattan Project's intelligence team had penetrated the Third Reich and knew every detail of the Nazi 's plan for an atomic bomb. What changed and what went wrong?
Houghton's delightful retelling of this fascinating case of American spy ineffectiveness in the then new field of scientific intelligence provides us with a new look at the early years of the Cold War. During that time, scientific intelligence quickly grew to become a significant portion of the CIA budget as it struggled to contend with the incredible advance in weapons and other scientific discoveries immediately after World War II. As Houghton shows, the abilities of the Soviet Union's scientists, its research facilities and laboratories, and its educational system became a key consideration for the CIA in assessing the threat level of its most potent foe. Sadly, for the CIA scientific intelligence was extremely difficult to do well. For when the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb in 1949, no one in the American intelligence services saw it coming.
At the dawn of the twentieth century, the U.S. Army swiftly occupied Manila and then plunged into a decade-long pacification campaign with striking parallels to today’s war in Iraq. Armed with ...cutting-edge technology from America’s first information revolution, the U.S. colonial regime created the most modern police and intelligence units anywhere under the American flag. In Policing America’s Empire Alfred W. McCoy shows how this imperial panopticon slowly crushed the Filipino revolutionary movement with a lethal mix of firepower, surveillance, and incriminating information. Even after Washington freed its colony and won global power in 1945, it would intervene in the Philippines periodically for the next half-century—using the country as a laboratory for counterinsurgency and rearming local security forces for repression. In trying to create a democracy in the Philippines, the United States unleashed profoundly undemocratic forces that persist to the present day.     But security techniques bred in the tropical hothouse of colonial rule were not contained, McCoy shows, at this remote periphery of American power. Migrating homeward through both personnel and policies, these innovations helped shape a new federal security apparatus during World War I. Once established under the pressures of wartime mobilization, this distinctively American system of public-private surveillance persisted in various forms for the next fifty years, as an omnipresent, sub rosa matrix that honeycombed U.S. society with active informers, secretive civilian organizations, and government counterintelligence agencies. In each succeeding global crisis, this covert nexus expanded its domestic operations, producing new contraventions of civil liberties—from the harassment of labor activists and ethnic communities during World War I, to the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, all the way to the secret blacklisting of suspected communists during the Cold War. “With a breathtaking sweep of archival research, McCoy shows how repressive techniques developed in the colonial Philippines migrated back to the United States for use against people of color, aliens, and really any heterodox challenge to American power. This book proves Mark Twain’s adage that you cannot have an empire abroad and a republic at home.”—Bruce Cumings, University of Chicago  “This book lays the Philippine body politic on the examination table to reveal the disease that lies within—crime, clandestine policing, and political scandal. But McCoy also draws the line from Manila to Baghdad, arguing that the seeds of controversial counterinsurgency tactics used in Iraq were sown in the anti-guerrilla operations in the Philippines. His arguments are forceful.”—Sheila S. Coronel, Columbia University   Winner, George McT. Kahin Prize of the Southeast Asian Council of the Association for Asian Studies
During the Cold War, stories of espionage became popular on both sides of the Iron Curtain, capturing the imagination of readers and filmgoers alike as secret police quietly engaged in surveillance ...under the shroud of impenetrable secrecy. And curiously, in the post-Cold War period there are no signs of this enthusiasm diminishing. The opening of secret police archives in many Eastern European countries has provided the opportunity to excavate and narrate for the first time forgotten spy stories.Cold War Spy Stories from Eastern Europe brings together a wide range of accounts compiled from the East German Stasi, the Romanian Securitate, and the Ukrainian KGB files. The stories are a complex amalgam of fact and fiction, history and imagination, past and present. These stories of collusion and complicity, betrayal and treason, right and wrong, and good and evil cast surprising new light on the question of Cold War certainties and divides.
