The French Secret Services is the dramatic, previously untold story of France's intelligence networks, from the "black chambers" of the ancien régime and Napoleon to the formation of the SDECE (CIA) and the DST (FBI), from the Dreyfus Affair to the Rainbow Warrior debacle. If the role of intelligence is to reduce uncertainty, the peculiar culture of the French secret services ~ often oblivious to civil~intelligence relations ~ hindered France in constructing a rational response to the greatest threat to national survival in the first half of the twentieth century: the German menace. A leader in cryptoanalysis during the Great War. France repeated the mistakes of 1914 in 1940, when General Maurice Gamelin, demoralized by overwhelming German power, set in motion a strategy anchored in the wishful thinking that a dramatic advance into Belgium and Holland would unhinge the German war plan. The rise of the Resistance during the Second World War would lead to the creation of a separate Gaullist intelligence service (BCRA), but, as Porch points out, its efficacy as an instrument of intelligence~gathering and military action was far more limited than Dwight Eisenhower's claim~that the French Resistance was worth six divisions during the invasion of France~suggests. Unquestionably, the colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria constitute two of the most traumatic events in the history of post~World War II France. Porch offers an explosive, in~depth look at France's constant underestimation of Vietminh capabilities~largely a product of racism, he argues~and brilliantly analyzes the disasters of Cao Ban in 1950, in which 6,000 men were lost; the decision to occupy Dien Bien Phu, justifiable from a strategic perspective but eerily reminiscent of 1914 and 1940; and the twisted logic for trafficking in the opium trade. France would withdraw from Indochina only to confront rebellion in Algeria, where the secret services countered terror with terror. Assassinations of Arab political leaders and FLN contacts were sponsored by the SDEGES Service Actions widespread torture became the common means of obtaining information; brazen sabotage resulted in countless civilian casualties and the extermination of entire Algerian villages was sanctioned by none other than G2~the intelligence section of the general staff itself. Special operations often took over from intelligence to make up for strategie failures. Short~run gains, as the Ben Barka affair demonstrated, often spawned strategic disasters, threatening France's long~term national and international interests. Ranging from diplomatic and military intelligence to covert operations, industrial espionage, and the "dirty tricks" of politicians which continue to play a significant role in French political life today, The French Secret Services explains the sometimes bizarre operations of French intelligence in the context of France's divided political culture and of its self~image as a world power.…
