Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. V prvnich a nejnebezpecnejsich letech studene valky provedla hrstka Americanu vedena prezidentem Dwightem D. Eisenhowerem revoluci ve spionazi a vedeni valky. Za velkeho utajeni a bez slideni Kongresu a tisku sestrojili exoticky nove stroje, ktere umoznily dohled nad Sovetskym svazem a ochranu Spojenych statu pred prekvapivym jadernym utokem. Kniha Tajne imperium poprve v plnem rozsahu popisuje dramaticky pribeh techto muzu a jejich vynalezu.Skupinka vedcu, inzenyru, podnikatelu a vladnich predstavitelu prepsala v kratkem obdobi prudkeho rustu prisne tajne inovace padesatych let 20. stoleti knihu tykajici se konstrukce letadel a zavedla narod do vesmiru. Za stejne smeleho usili, ktere umoznilo vznik atomove bomby, navrhli, sestrojili a provozovali letadlo U-2 a nadzvukove spionazni letadlo SR-71 a prvni pruzkumne druzice Corona - stroje, ktere dokazaly za den ziskat o vyzbroji Sovetskeho svazu vice informaci, nez by za deset roku shromazdila armada spionu.Jejich pozoruhodne vynalezy a odvazne mise umoznily kontrolovat smlouvy s Moskvou o zbrojeni a pomohly udrzovat mir za studene valky i pruzkum, mapovani, spojeni a zamerovaci systemy z vesmiru, jez americke ozbrojene sily pouzivaly v Perskem zalivu a v posledni dobe v Afghanistanu. Tyto obrovsky nakladne stroje vsak take vedly k opomijeni tradicnejsich prostredku ke shromazdovani zpravodajskych informaci provadenemu za pomoci spionaze lidmi.Ostrileny reporter a redaktor New York Times Philip Taubman vyzpovidal desitky ucastniku a prosel tisice, drive tajnych dokumentu, aby mohl vypravet tento skryty a obsahly pribeh. Provadi rekonstrukci rozhodujicich setkani, rozhovoru a rozhodnuti, ktere daly podnet a vedly k vyvoji spionazniho letadla a druzicovych projektu v jednom z nejnebezpecnejsich obdobi nasich dejin, v dobe, kdy svet podle Eisenhowera ,smeroval ke katastrofe".Taubman sleduje tento pribeh z Bileho domu do CIA, z Pentagonu do Skunkovych dilen Lockheedu v Burbanku, z tajne zkusebni zakladny U-2 v Nevade do tajnych montaznich center druzic v Palo Alto a dalsich mist v teto zemi i zahranici. Odhaluje nove informace o puvodu a vyvoji projektu, o jejich temer technickem nezdaru i o tom, jak se temer staly obeti byrokraticke nevsimavosti a soupereni ve Washingtonu.Neuveritelne sloziti spioni na obloze dosahli pozoruhodneho uspechu, protoze podali dukaz toho, ze rozdil v raketach tykajici se nasi ochrany pred prekvapivym sovetskym utokem je mytus. V jistem smyslu vsak lze neuspech pri odhaleni planu teroristickych utoku 11. zari 2001 take prisoudit temto vykonnym strojum, protoze cim vice byla vlada zavisla na spionaznich druzicich, tim vice opomijela agenty a informatory. Za soucasneho vedeni nove a divocejsi valky s terorismem vsak budeme k boji potrebovat stoje ve vesmiru i spiony na zemi.
