The end of the Cold War threw the world's intelligence agencies into turmoil. The old security of a superpower confrontation had vanished and with the new world order came a search for a new identity and purpose for the spies. At stake was a $50 billion global industry employing a million people. With unrivalled access to senior intelligence figures in America, Britain and Russia, James Adams reveals how the secret services conduct their business today.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
For the past four years James Adams has been the Washington Bureau Chief of the Sunday Times. For ten years before that he was the paper's Defence Correspondent. The two positions, which have both involved extensive reporting of the dying days of the Cold War and the struggle to form a new world order, have given him unique access to the intelligence community. He is the author of a number of books, including The Financing of Terror and Secret Armies, both of which are now considered standard works on international terrorism and covert warfare, and has lectured to the US army, and the Defence Intelligence College, the British Special Branch and other agencies. He is married with two daughters and lives in Washington DC.
