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.
