Military Intelligence is all too often not know by readers

To fully appreciate this type of book the reader should be aware of the other books relating to ULTRA and MAGIC. With these three in mind the reader should see the virtually unknown aspect of major wars. Many an unsung hero is overlooked since Military Intelligence and covert activities requires that the folks involved be hiddden. Casey adds another dimension to the constantly unfolding aspects of WW II as well as possible aspects of all future conflicts. The examples of Polish and French covert activities is not well known. The final item to consider when reading these types of books is which commanders did and did not use this wealth on information while preparinbg for battle o while in battle. As an example, did MacArthur have intelligencee before he invaded Inchon in Korea??? Did he have inntelligence before he raced to the yalu River claiming that the Chinese would not get involve? or, did he chose to ignore this intelligence? What did Westmoreland know or not know about the War in Vietnam?
