Description: With unprecedented access to R.A.W. and I.S.I., the world's most inscrutable spy agencies, Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clark describe the workings of bitter rivals, mapping their complicated history from the 1960s to the present day. From the Parliament attacks to Pulwama, 9/11 to bin Laden's assassination, the rise of terror's shadow armies to the fall of Kulbhushan Jadhav, here are some of the key events that have shaped the region told with more detail than ever before and using both sides of the story. Levy and Scott-Clark also uncover a darker seam - of the destructive impact of U.S. interference in both India and Pakistan, and how I.S.I. was overcome by the dark forces they funded, while R.A.W. created ghost enemies and false narratives to strengthen their hand. Revelatory and unputdownable, Spy Stories clears the fog to reveal the I.S.I. and R.A.W., officers and their assets as you have never seen them before.
