The Tao of Spycraft: Intelligence Theory and Practice in Traditional China

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In The Tao of Spycraft, for the first time anywhere Ralph Sawyer unfolds the long and venerable tradition of spycraft and intelligence work in traditional China, revealing a vast array of theoretical materials and astounding historical developments. Encompassing extensive translations of relevant portions of theoretical military manuals previously unknown in the West (such as the T'ai-pai Yin-ching, Hu-ling Ching, and Ping-fa Pai-yen), the book spans centuries to trace the development and expansion of agent concepts, insertion and control methods, recruitment, and covert practices such as assassination, subversion, and sexual entrapment and exploitation. The book goes on to explore counter-intelligence and all aspects of military intelligence, including objectives, analysis and interpretation. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
