COVERT AND OVERT
Recollecting and Connecting
Intelligence Service and Information Science
Edited by Robert V. Williams and Ben-Ami
Lipetz
Covert and Overt explores the historical
relationships between covert intelligence work and
information/computer science. Skillfully edited by
Robert V. Williams and Ben-Ami Lipetz, the book features
contributions by intelligence professionals and technologists
from a range of U.S. and British agencies and armed
services.
The book begins by examining the pivotal strides to
utilize technology in the gathering and dissemination
of government/military intelligence during World War
II. Next, it traces the evolution of the relationship
between spymasters, computers, and systems developers
through the years of the Cold War—a period notable
for the parallel development of high-tech spyware and
powerful new systems for encoding, decoding, storing,
and manipulating intelligence data.
Covert and Overt is a scholarly work that
will be welcomed by any researcher, historian, or intelligence
professional interested in the vital conjunction of
information technology and covert intelligence.
