The French intelligence service DGSE is recognized today as one of the most aggressive in the world. Once described by one of its former senior executives as "a little North Korea," it has also made a sinister reputation for itself for its readiness to kill, including its own. But it is lesser known for the secret war it wages against the United States since the end of the Cold War, and its obsession with domestic espionage spurred by a fear of Muslim terrorism and pervading American-style capitalism. On April 2000, French weekly Courrier international published the last words of ex-French President Francois Mitterrand, and between others he avowed for the first time, "France does not know it, but we are at war against the United States. A permanent economic war; a war without dead." Dominique Poirier who worked for more than twenty years for the DGSE takes us behind the closed curtain of the French intelligence community, to reveals for the first time shocking realities on mass surveillance and domestic influence in France, assassinations, and secret operations against the United States laced with startling revelations. And he tells us how the discreet cooperation between French and Russian spies evolved since Time magazine at last reported it in April 1968 with the scandal of the Martel Affair, two years after France and the Soviet Union had signed a decisive agreement on science and technology sharing. DGSE; The French Spy Machine is the biggest and richest book published to date on an intelligence service, detailing its current organization, methods, techniques and objectives.

On March 29, 1971, a Canadian was found brutally murdered in a small Paris apartment. The victim, François Mario Bachand, was a radical member of the separatist Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ), the terrorist group that had been causing havoc in Canada, planting bombs and carrying out kidnappings. Bachand served a jail term in the early 1960s, and after his release he was considered a loose cannon, heartily despised by many associates. It was widely believed that the FLQ had killed one of its own. Twenty years after Bachand died in Paris, author Michael McLoughlin came across a single document in the National Archives of Canada that shed an eerie new light on the circumstances of Bachand's death. The murder, McLoughlin discovered, was not so simple after all. And the deeper he dug, the more complicated - and disturbing - the case became. Last Stop, Paris analyzes the shocking circumstances surrounding Bachand's murder. McLoughlin carefully reconstructs the secret meeting that determined Bachand's fate and the events that led to his assassination on the March day in Paris. It also follows the movements of the FLQ and the RCMP Security Service, and reveals the close international connections that tied revolutionary groups of the later 1960s and 1970s - from Cuba to Europe to the Middle East - to underground agents of the CIA, MI5, and French intelligence. A revealing look at the international web of terrorism and government intelligence, Last Stop, Paris is an explosive examination of the secrets, betrayals and violence that characterized the most tumultuous period in Canada's recent history.

For the first time since more than half a century a French spy of the DGSE, the French foreign intelligence agency breaks the wall of secrecy. The author, who voluntarily enlisted in espionage in 1980 and left in the early 2000s, describes the extent of domestic spying in France, and how French spies are recruited and trained. He also delivers numerous detailed explanations on the sophisticated way France carries out influence and cultural warfare. And he explains how the DGSE conducts its espionage operations abroad and in the United States in particular, the country where this agency is the most active since the 1960s. Along the 600 pages of this dense book, the reader will discover how deceptive the appearances of mutual understanding between France and the United States are, and the realities of the untold special relationship between France and Russia in the context of intelligence. The reader must not expect to find in this book the personal story of a spy, but rather a highly detailed report enhanced with numerous real examples and anecdotes, with a focus on influence, propaganda and cultural warfare. Technical sketches and maps are added whenever necessary. Dominique Poirier, the author grew up in a family whose members were involved in intelligence since the WWII. His stepfather was a high-ranking executive in domestic intelligence (the Renseignements Generaux). His elder brother was recruited in domestic intelligence in the 1960s, and he was steered towards counterespionage in the mid-1970s, a branch in which he immediately specialized in operations against Great Britain and the United States. Dominique Poirier joined the DGSE when this intelligence agency still was called SDECE, one year before the Socialist Party took the power in France, and ten year before the end of the Cold War. A few years later, this agency steered him towards influence and cultural warfare, a growing branch of the whole French intelligence community at that time. From the early 1990s on, he was increasingly involved in intelligence activities against the United States with a specialty in influence and propaganda, a period when he began to be introduced to the join intelligence operations between the DGSE and its German counterpart the BND. From 1996 on, he was progressively enlightened on the French Russian special relationship, and he began to meet agents and intelligence officers of the SVR RF, the foreign intelligence agency of the Russian Federation that succeeded the KGB.

Nobody could possibly have foreseen that the abduction of an old man in New Jersey would be the prelude to a drama played out on the world's stage. Or that it was the first step in a plot so ingenious and skillful that the stability of nations would rock wildly to its adroit tune. Or that around the world a name now indelibly associated with the horror of genocide Babi Yar would once again be headline news. Or that soon an unlikely alliance would take place between the KGB, the Israeli Mossad, and the French and British Secret Intelligence Services. And all because of an organization hitherto unknown, the Scales of Justice. For James Bond it meant a twist that no-one could have invented in their wildest dreams before the era of Glasnost and perestroika for this new assignment James Bond would not simply work with his former arch-enemy, the KGB, he would be operating under their control . . .

A longtime CNN columnist astutely combines history and global politics to help us better understanding the exploding number of military, political, and diplomatic crises around the globe. The riveting and illuminating behind-the-scenes stories of the world's most intense “red lines," from diplomatic and military challenges at particular turning points in history to the ones that set the tone of geopolitics today. Whether it was the red line in Munich that led to the start of the Second World War, to the red lines in the South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula, Syria and the Middle East. As we traverse the globe, Andelman uses original documentary research, previously classified material, and interviews with key players, to help us understand the growth, the successes and frequent failures that have shaped our world today. Andelman provides not just vivid historical context, but a political anatomy of these red lines. How might their failures be prevented going forward? When and how can such lines in the sand help preserve peace rather than tempt conflict? A Red Line in the Sand is a vital examination of our present and the future—where does diplomacy end and war begin? It is an object lesson of tantamount importance to every leader, diplomat, citizen, and voter. As America establishes more red lines than it has pledged to defend, every American should understand the volatile atmosphere and the existential stakes of the red web that encompasses the globe.
