In this penetrating work of investigative and historical
journalism, Eamon Javers explores the dangerous and combustible
power spies hold over international business. Intelligence
companies and the spies they employ are setting up fake Web sites
to elicit information, trailing individuals and mirroring travel
itineraries, Dumpster-diving in household and corporate trash,
using ultra sophisticated satellite surveillance to spy on
facilities, acting as impostors to take jobs within companies or to
gain access to corporations, concocting elaborate schemes of fraud
and deceit, and hacking e-mail and secure computer networks. The
work of this industry can be ingenious, but it also raises crucial
moral and legal questions in a world where global conflicts are as
likely to be corporation versus corporation as they are to be
nation versus nation. This globalized industry is not a recent
phenomenon, but rather a continuation of a fascinating history. The
story begins with Allan Pinkerton, the nation's first true private
eye, and extends through the annals of a rich history that includes
tycoons and playboys, presidents and FBI operatives, CEOs and
accountants, Cold War veterans and military personnel. Built on
exclusive reporting and unprecedented access, this book features
accounts of Howard Hughes' private CIA, the extensive spying that
took place in a battle between two global food companies, and
interviews with some of the world's top corporate surveillance
experts.
