Why Spy? is the result of Brian Stewart's seventy years of working
in, and studying the uses and abuses of, intelligence in the real
world. Few books currently available to those involved either as
professionals or students in this area have been written by someone
like the present author, who has practical experience both of field
work and of the intelligence bureaucracy at home and abroad. It
relates successes and failures via case studies, and draws
conclusions that should be pondered by all those concerned with the
limitations and usefulness of the intelligence product, as well as
with how to avoid the tendency to abuse or ignore it when its
conclusions do not fit with preconceived ideas. It reminds the
reader of the multiplicity of methods and organisations and the
wide range of talents making up the intelligence world.The
co-author, scholar Samantha Newbery, examines such current issues
as the growth of intelligence studies in universities, and the
general emphasis throughout the volume is on the necessity of
embracing a range of sources, including police, political, military
and overt, to ensure that secret intelligence is placed in as wide
a context as possible when decisions are made.
