Publisher's Synopsis
In a knowledge based economy, universities are repositories of valuable information and research, where brilliant minds of all nationalities mingle freely with few questions asked. Intelligence agencies have always recruited bright undergraduates but now, in an era when espionage increasingly requires specialized scientific ortechnological expertise, they're wooing higher-level academics, not just as analysts but also for clandestine operations. Grounded in extensive research and reporting, 'Spy Schools' reveals how academia has emerged as a frontline in the global spy game.
