In the second half of 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. It was an event of major historic and global dimensions, yet this strategic transformation of international relations took the entire world totally by suprise - despite the fact that the West saw in the Communist power an ideological foe and a major military threat. During the 1980s Western intelligence services spent about USD40 billion every year, most of it to monitor the Soviet Union and its satellites. Yet all of them, without exception, were taken by surprise when the red empire crumbled. The American CIA, Britain's MI-6, Germany's BND and the French DGSE all failed to comprehend that the Soviet Union was approaching the end of its imperial existence. A handful of honest intelligence professionals who identified the signs of weakness and distress were shunted aside. The authors of this book interviewed dozens of people who dealt with Soviet affairs in the 1980s, most of them in the United States, some in Europe, the Soviet Union and Israel. The interviewees included high ranking government officials, academics and journalists, but mostly intelligence personnel. All admitted having been caught off guard, but differed over the reasons for their surprise, and who was responsible for it.
具體描述
讀後感
本书的观点就是：所有的西方情报机构——从美国中情局、以色列摩萨德、英国的军情六处，法国的对外安全局、意大利的军事情报局，到斯堪的纳维亚半岛国家和日本的情报机构——都没能预见到苏联的解体，堪称最明显的失败。作者进行了大量采访，使得本书引人入胜，可读性强，不像...
評分情报机构在1991年的失败基本上要归咎于中情局负责国情评估任务的情报处。而2001年未能阻止恐怖袭击的失误则更为糟糕。1991年的失败所造成的惊讶可以说是“积极的”——对于调查委员会来说，西方情报机构未能洞察苏联的崩溃并不是什么大事。但是，没能发现和阻止针对世界贸易中...
評分“每一个受访者都毫不犹豫地承认苏联崩溃让他们吃了一惊，只是每个人对于这种毫无察觉给出的缘由却都互有不同。”这一点也让我很吃惊，一个重大的历史事件，也许往往并不能依靠分析研究，预测出准确形态。作者认为，当历史处于转折点时，运转的情报收集机制再复杂精巧，洞察转...
評分西方情报机构无论如何也与苏联解体脱不了干系，事实上，它在世界上多少地方在活动，在起决定性或颠覆性作用？大家隐约知道，但这本书告诉我们事件的细节和还原恢弘的历史剧。此书的翻译出版被列入中国社会科学院创新工程学术出版资助项目，可见其权威性，值得一读。
評分本书讲述了二战以来，美苏这两个国家，不断找寻着对方的弱点。在海洋、陆地、天空甚至太空都成了它们打斗的场所。本书的作者通过大量采访，受访者包括政府官员、学者以及情报官员，将二国知晓内幕的人的思维对策在本书中精彩呈现。对现今的社会仍具有历史的借鉴意义,值得深入思...
