Warrior Spies:
Great Leaders, Great Spies:
Spying for military purposes is as old as battle itself. Great war heroes were often also great spies or spymasters.
By using a vast intelligence network, Hannibal was able to sneak across the Alps to Italy with an entire army of men and elephants! Julius Caesar encoded correspondence with government officials and friends. Even Alexander the Great tested his troops' loyalty by secretly reading their mail. Not surprisingly, all these techniques are still used. |
