In the second half of 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. It was an event of major historic and global dimensions, yet this strategic transformation of international relations took the entire world totally by suprise - despite the fact that the West saw in the Communist power an ideological foe and a major military threat. During the 1980s Western intelligence services spent about USD40 billion every year, most of it to monitor the Soviet Union and its satellites. Yet all of them, without exception, were taken by surprise when the red empire crumbled. The American CIA, Britain's MI-6, Germany's BND and the French DGSE all failed to comprehend that the Soviet Union was approaching the end of its imperial existence. A handful of honest intelligence professionals who identified the signs of weakness and distress were shunted aside. The authors of this book interviewed dozens of people who dealt with Soviet affairs in the 1980s, most of them in the United States, some in Europe, the Soviet Union and Israel. The interviewees included high ranking government officials, academics and journalists, but mostly intelligence personnel. All admitted having been caught off guard, but differed over the reasons for their surprise, and who was responsible for it.

“每一个受访者都毫不犹豫地承认苏联崩溃让他们吃了一惊,只是每个人对于这种毫无察觉给出的缘由却都互有不同。”这一点也让我很吃惊,一个重大的历史事件,也许往往并不能依靠分析研究,预测出准确形态。作者认为,当历史处于转折点时,运转的情报收集机制再复杂精巧,洞察转...

本书讲述了二战以来,美苏这两个国家,不断找寻着对方的弱点。在海洋、陆地、天空甚至太空都成了它们打斗的场所。本书的作者通过大量采访,受访者包括政府官员、学者以及情报官员,将二国知晓内幕的人的思维对策在本书中精彩呈现。对现今的社会仍具有历史的借鉴意义,值得深入思...

阅读本书好像是在政客和情报官员的关系迷雾中漫步,其相识的分析不仅具备学术性,而且极富故事性,可以使普通读者了解冷战时期世界是如何变动的。其实这个故事挺可悲的,清包机构庞大臃肿,垄断专权,资源丰富,却未能遇见历史转折点的到来。这是近代历史上情报机构最明显的失败。

既然美国等西方国家的情报机构几乎无孔不入,而且对于其主要对手——前苏联的监控程度可能是最为集中的,为什么前苏联的解体却没有被这些情报机构事先察觉?这不能不说是一个近似于谜一样的问题。这本书就是分析了西方情报机构为何不能预测了预判诸如此类的“大事件”。这本书...  

评分

情报机构在1991年的失败基本上要归咎于中情局负责国情评估任务的情报处。而2001年未能阻止恐怖袭击的失误则更为糟糕。1991年的失败所造成的惊讶可以说是“积极的”——对于调查委员会来说,西方情报机构未能洞察苏联的崩溃并不是什么大事。但是,没能发现和阻止针对世界贸易中...
