An eye-opening account of the perils of America's techno-spy empire
Ever since the earliest days of the Cold War, American intelligence
agencies have launched spies in the sky, implanted spies in the
ether, burrowed spies underground, sunk spies in the ocean, and
even tried to control spies' minds by chemical means. But these
weren't human spies. Instead, the United States expanded its reach
around the globe through techno-spies. Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach
investigates how America's technophiles inadvertently created a
global espionage empire: one based on technology, not land. Author
Kristie Macrakis shows how in the process of staking out the globe
through technology, US intelligence created the ability to collect
a massive amount of data. But did it help? Featuring the sites
visited during her research and stories of the people who created
the techno-spy empire, Macrakis guides the reader from its
conception in the 1950s to its global reach in the Cold War and
Global War on Terror. In an age of ubiquitous technology, Nothing
Is Beyond Our Reach exposes the perils of relying too much on
technology while demonstrating how the US carried on the tradition
of British imperial espionage. Readers interested in the history of
espionage and technology as well as those who work in the
intelligence field will find the revelations and insights in
Nothing Is Beyond Our Reach fascinating and compelling.
