In the real, sub rosa world of intelligence-gathering, each bit of jargon acts as a veil of secrecy over particular types of activity. This book explains and gives examples of how these operations happened, drawing on the first-hand experience of defectors to and from the Soviet Union; surveillance 'operators' who kept terrorist suspects under observation in Northern Ireland; case officers who have put their lives at risk by 'pitching' a target in a 'denied territory'; and the NOCs who lived under alias to spy abroad.
