520 1 $a"In Secrets a Century, Johnson Parker offers a brief history of espionage and secret agreements in the 20th century. This book provides an account of how espionage and secrecy influenced world affairs in terms of covert alliances, battles, subterfuge, assassination, and immigration. Specific topics covered include clandestine agreements among the various European nations, attempts at code-breaking before World War II, and the affects of secrets upon the courses of the Korean, Vietnam, and Serbian wars. The author also details the collapse of the Soviet Union and causes of the Iran-Iraq war. Military historians, professors of history, students of espionage, and even the general reader will find interest in this work."--BOOK JACKET.
