The Intelligence War offers a concise, photo-led exploration of World War II’s shadow fight, tracing how espionage, signals interception, human intelligence and code‑breaking shaped campaigns across land, sea and sky between 1939 and 1945. Framed as an illustrated narrative rather than a dense monograph, the book explains the operational use of intelligence—from raw collection through analysis to battlefield impact—placing clandestine actions in the wider strategic context of the war and revealing how secrets and deception helped decide outcomes.
Part of the World War II Chronicles series, this large‑format, heavily illustrated volume (128 pages) by Donald P. Steury features numerous photographs, maps and short pictorial chapters, with an introductory overview by series editor Roger Cirillo that situates the subject historically. Published by Metro Books in 2000 (ISBN‑13: 9781567999587), its quarto layout and visual emphasis make it ideal as an accessible primer for general readers, a coffee‑table introduction to wartime intelligence, and a visually engaging reference for collectors and history enthusiasts.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
