SpyCast Ep. 629 | “The Foundations of American Intelligence in WWI"
with Mark Stout
This week on SpyCast, SPY Historian Andrew Hammond was joined by former SPY historian Mark Stout to discuss his new book, World War I and the Foundations of American Intelligence. Common historical thought places the genesis of formalized intelligence during the second World War, but Mark argues otherwise. In fact, World War I proved that intelligence was an indispensable asset to nations during both war and peace. Tune in to learn more about the little-known American intelligence history of World War I.
Former SpyCast host Mark Stout was the Historian and Curator for the International Spy Museum from 2010-2013. After his tenure at SPY, Mark served as a Senior Lecturer and a Program Director for the MA in Global Security Studies at Johns Hopkins University. He is also a former intelligence analyst for the CIA and the US Department of State.
