Hide and Seek
Through dramatic incidents tells for the first time the full story of the development of Cold War naval intelligence from the end of WWII to the breakup the Soviet Union in 1991, from both sides, East and West. Unlike other accounts, which focus on submarine confrontations and accidents, the authors cover all types of naval intelligence, human collection (racing with the Soviets to capture Nazi subs, successful and losing spies and defectors), signal intelligence (surface, air, satellite and navy commando teams in balaclavas launched by speed boats from subs), acoustic (passive underwater arrays and tapping phone lines), and the aerial and space reconnaissance. The authors give details of operations in all these areas, some of which were witnessed first hand. "A new light is shed on the spy ships incidents of the 1960s and on submarine intrusions in Swedish waters. Excerpts of the Soviet Navy instructions on UFOs and accounts of Soviet naval encounters with unexplained objects are also published for the first time outside of Russia; and much more."

Made to Break
Made to Break is a history of twentieth-century technology as seen through the prism of obsolescence. Giles Slade explains how disposability was a necessary condition for America's rejection of tradition and our acceptance of change and impermanence. This book gives us a detailed and harrowing picture of how, by choosing to support ever-shorter product lives, we may well be shortening the future of our way of life as well.
Contre-espionnage : mémoires d'un patron de la D.S.T.
En novembre 1982, Yves Bonnet est choisi par François Mitterrand, pour succéder à Marcel Chalet à la tête de la DST, la légendaire Direction de la surveillance du territoire. Pendant près de trois ans, il va diriger la « grande maison » de la rue des Saussaies.

Guerra nas sombras
Paralelamente às guerras visíveis – divulgadas, documentadas, fotografadas e televisionadas ao longo da história –, outras guerras tão ou mais importantes são travadas nas sombras, às escondidas dos olhos dos cidadãos comuns: agências e serviços secretos vêm desde sempre atuando nos bastidores do poder, produzindo conhecimentos que serviram e servem para influenciar decisões governamentais (até mesmo catapultando os conflitos que acontecem às claras).A ação dos agentes secretos, romanceada em livros e em filmes hollywoodianos, já é naturalmente cercada de mistérios. Agora, com a publicação de milhares de documentos pelo site WikiLeaks e a divulgação da existência d...

100 történelmi tévhit
Miért is kérdőjeleznénk meg egy történelmi esemény leírását, egy hadvezér vagy király jellemzését, amikor iskolában is tanultunk, filmet láttunk, olvastunk róla? Néró felgyújtotta Rómát, a Szent Koronát a pápa adta Szent Istvánnak, a mohácsi vereségért a magyar nemesség a felelős, Jaltában osztották fel a világot. – Kívülről fújjuk mindannyian. Csakhogy sok esetben a biztosnak vélt tudás cáfolható. Mégpedig nem egy másik hiedelemmel, hanem tényekkel. E könyv szerzője 100 történelmi tévhitet oszlat el, s állít velük szembe hiteles forrásokat és történészi következtetéseket.
