ABSTRACT
The cloak and dagger of the intelligence world is what most people think of when human intelligence, and even intelligence in general, is mentioned. It is what is most often portrayed in popular culture, with intelligence officers running double lives and engaging in romantic affairs. This is not without good reason. Despite being overly dramatised in the films, Loch Johnson notes that ‘virtually every nation resorts to the “dark arts” of espionage to protect its government, economy and citizens’. 1 Throughout the Cold War, intelligence agencies on both sides used methods of deception, manipulation and bribery as fundamental tools of the trade.
