Using espionage as a test case, The End of Intelligence criticizes claims that the recent information revolution has weakened the state, revolutionized warfare, and changed the balance of power between states and nonstate actorsand it assesses the potential for realizing any hopes we might have for reforming intelligence and espionage.Examining espionage, counterintelligence, and covert action, the book argues that, contrary to prevailing views, the information revolution is increasing the power of states relative to nonstate actors and threatening privacy more than secrecy. Arguing that intelligence organizations may be taken as the paradigmatic organizations of the information age, author David Tucker shows the limits of information gathering and analysis even in these organizations, where failures at selfknowledge point to broader limits on human knowledgeeven in our supposed age of transparency. He argues that, in this complex context, both intuitive judgment and morality remain as important as ever and undervalued by those arguing for the transformative effects of information.This book will challenge what we think we know about the power of information and the state, and about the likely twentyfirst century fate of secrecy and privacy.
