Most secret and confidential : intelligence in the Age of Nelson by Steven E. Maffeo - VB231.G& M34 2000
“Steven Maffeo’s fascinating study provides valuable insight into two constants of warfare – the need for accurate and timely intelligence along with the ability to use the material effectively. Man’s vast technological advances in the twentieth century have not diminished the critical value of intelligence. Maffeo’s lessons and conclusions from Nelson and his contemporaries are as fresh and illuminating as if they had been drawn from the Gulf War. C.S.Forester and Patrick O’Brian aficionados as well as naval history buffs will want this valuable volume on their shelves.” – John W. Huston, Emeritus Professor of History, U.S. Naval Academy
