| Zusammenfassung: | "When the Second World War began, Canada had no foreign intelligence capacity. Its political leaders had concluded that a clandestine service was not necessary to meet the nation's intelligence requirements. Yet Kurt F.Jensen argues that the country was a more active intelligence partner in the wartime alliance than has previously been suggested." "Drawing on newly released materials and exhaustive research, he describes Canada's contributions to Allied intelligence before the war began, as well as the distinctly Canadian activities that started from that point. He reveals how the government created an intelligence organization during the war to aid Allied resources and established operations such as SIGINT, or Signal Intelligence, which intercepted and decrypted Vichy and Free French diplomatic communications."--BOOK JACKET. |
