Administrations clandestines, organisations en marge de la loi ou violant les libertés individuelles, espionnage industriel, surveillance des communications, torture… sur chacun de ces sujets, les idées reçues qui emballent les imaginations promptes à toutes les suspicions et spéculations ne manquent pas ! Qu'il s'agisse de renseignement militaire ou civil, de la lutte contre le terrorisme ou la criminalité financière, des écoutes téléphoniques ou du fichage informatique, nous n'avons finalement qu'une vision très réductrice des services secrets, souvent faussée par les films, romans ou autres reportages à sensations. Dépassant les clichés de James Bond, Mata Hari ou autre Jack Bauer, l'auteur détaille ici ce que sont ces services de renseignement. S'appuyant autant sur des données historiques que sur les informations de l'actualité, il en décrit le rôle et leur évolution au cours de ces dernières décennies. Gérald Arboit est docteur habilité en histoire contemporaine et directeur de recherche au Centre français de recherche sur le renseignement.

Through the lens of personnel management, the authors offer a unique and compelling analysis of secret service employee biographies and autobiographies, giving the reader an improved understanding of people management in all organisations. Personnel Management in Secret Service Organizations pinpoints key events in an agent's career, focusing on how they enter their profession, how they perform espionage work; how they are trained and managed and what the circumstances of promotion and demotion might be, up to the point of exit from the profession (through retirement, capture, or death). Within this framework, it illustrates the ways that secret service organizations play a crucial role in contemporary societies. Drawing comparisons with personnel management in standard organizations, Personnel Management in Secret Service Organizations will be a valuable resource for researchers and students of management and organization. The use of narratology-inspired methods will appeal to younger scholars with an interest in organizational studies too"--
