Книга содержит портреты 23 знаменитых разведчиков. Один сухой перечень имен составит честь любой спецслужбе мира. Все те, чьи судьбы представлены в книге - от флигель-адъютанта Чернышева до полковника Абеля, - входят в тот узкий круг, который сами профессионалы называют коротким словом "элита".Далеко не все, о ком хотелось бы рассказать, попали на страницы сборника. Их время еще не пришло, а если и придет, то очень не скоро.
Двести лет существования разведки (в сегодняшнем ее понимании) - долгий срок. Составители и авторы надеются, что им удалось показать, как советская разведка впитала опыт дореволюционной, а нынешнее поколение разведчиков продолжает славные традиции предшественников, защищая нашу Родину на ее самых дальних рубежах.

Although Lancaster was the ancient County town, it had a population of only 40,000 in 1914. Of these, it is thought that some 5,000 men saw war service between 1914-18, and over 1,000 did not return. In consequence, the recruiting drives, the tribunals to consider exemption from 1916, and the ever-growing casualty lists provide the main theme for this book. Some 3,000 men had volunteered by December 1914, to join those already serving.

Wednesday 22 January 1879 was one of the most dramatic days in the annals of military history. In the morning, a modern British army was swept aside by the onset of a seemingly unstoppable host at Isandlwana. Nearby, at a remote border outpost on the Buffalo River, a single company of the 24th Regiment and a few dozen recuperating hospital patients were passing another hot, monotonous day.

The last and longest war of classical antiquity was fought in the early seventh century. It was ideologically charged and fought along the full length of the Persian-Roman frontier, drawing in all the available resources and great powers of the steppe world. The conflict raged on an unprecedented scale, and its end brought the classical phase of history to a close. Despite all this, it has left a conspicuous gap in the history of warfare. This book aims to finally fill that gap.
