Spying:  From the Fall of Jericho to the Fall of the Wall:

This book is a comprehensive study of the history of intelligence activities from ancient times to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.  The American experience with espionage from the beginning of the Revolutionary War to the end of the Cold War receives special attention.

Spying draws heavily on the unique experiences and pioneering scholarship of the late Boston University Professor Arthur Hulnick, who also served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force and the Central Intelligence Agency.

As Art Hulnick’s colleague, Professor John D. Woodward, Jr., also a career CIA officer, has leveraged his own extensive operational background in masterfully editing this work based on Art’s lectures.
