Military Intelligence and the Arab Revolt : The First Modern Intelligence War / Polly A. Mohs London : Routledge, 2008 xviii, 238p. : : illus. ; 24 cm. Indeks : p.233 - 238 p.226 - 232 This book examines the use and exploitation of intelligence in formulating Britain's strategy for Arab Revolt in the First World War. It presents a radical re-examination of the achievements of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) as an intelligence officer and guerrilla leader. Modern intelligence techniques such as Sigint, Imint and Humint were incorporated into strategic planning with greater expertise and consistency in Arabia than in any other theatre during the war and their deployment as tactical support for the Arab forces was decisive. The unprecedented involvement of intelligence officers in active operations and decision-making on the ground led to important contradictions with official policy in London; it would stand as a precursor for the famous inteligence accomplishments of the Special Opeartions Executive (SOE) twenty-five years later in the Second World War. It will be of much interest to students of intellegence studies, military history, Middle Eastern history, guerrilla warfare and insurgency.
