<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Foreign policy in peacetime and command decision in war have always been driven by intelligence, and yet this subject has often been overlooked in standard histories. <i>Honorable Treachery</i> fills in these details, dramatically recounting every important intelligence operation since our nation's birth. These include how in 1795 President Washington mounted a covert operation to ransom American hostages in the Middle East; how in 1897, Kaiser Wilhelm II's plans for an invasion of the United States were scuppered by the director of the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence; and how President Woodrow Wilson created a secret agency called the Inquiry to compile intelligence for the peace negotiations at the end of World War I. <i>Honorable Treachery</i> puts America's use of covert intelligence into a broader historical context, and is sure to appeal to anyone interested in American history and the secret workings of our country.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>George O'Toole</b> (1937-2001) worked for the CIA from 1966 to 1969.
