The Enemy Within by Terry Crowdy

To gain the upper hand in conflict, the ability to know what your enemy is planning is vital. Separating myth from reality, this book traces the history of espionage from its development in ancient times through to the end of the Cold War and beyond, shedding light on clandestine activities that have so often tipped the balance in times of war.
Terry Crowdy has a life long passion for history which was first kindled working on the Fort Amhurst restoration project in the Medway Towns on the coast of England, where he spent his school summer vacations as a fortress tunnel guide. Through this association he developed a passionate interest in the Napoleonic Wars and participated in many of the bicentennial celebrations marking the wars of the French Revolution. His enthusiasm led to significant research in the French military archives at the Chateau de Vincennes near Paris. Terry became equally passionate about the history of 'Secret War' - in particular military espionage - a subject he feels is too often overlooked. After a long stint as bass guitarist for the rock group Soma, Terry put pen to paper and is now the author of a number of books and articles on military history. He lives in Kent, England. The author lives in Kent, UK.
