Under the guise of a supercoalition, the US can outsource to Russia some of the interventiongrunt work in the Middle East; this would permit more UStime and resource investment in Asia. The oil-rich lands of Russia and the Middle East represent the past; Asia will be a larger part of the future.
Failure, claim to fame, abject the soul Ending your own dream; you closed that door! The end of time has come, for you and him are done Dissension has begun The misery of one
Liars, petty thieves, out for their own Sadness turns to grief; the truth now known
Now take your place with god, unburdened by your thought You got just what you want: a life of pain and loss
Dooming oneself for one selfish belief Only yourself by yourself was deceived Nobody wants to remember your name Only what if's now remain in your place Seen for the fraud that you put on display Live with your actions while digging your grave Choke on the truth, slap to the face, life without you is a much better place
A wish of death; no hope for happiness The flame of wealth no more of yours to delve
Concurred defeat is all you'll ever reach Embraced your hell as long as time will tell Failure, claim to fame, abject your souls Ending your own dreams, you closed that door!
The end of time has come, for you and him are done Dissension has begun The misery of one
The Double Cross System in the War of 1939 to 1945 is a report on an anti-espionage program run by the British intelligence and security service MI5 during World War II; MI5 recruited and employed Nazi agents in Britain to disseminate disinformation back to the German Government. (Bits of legitimate intelligence were mixed in to lend the double agents credibility with the regime.) This nonfiction work relates methods, the anonymous people who used them, and various operations, successes, and failures.
The author of this report, John Cecil Masterman, was integral to the program. Masterman, an academic who was drafted into clandestine government service, reports that the program was mostly a success. Masterman's writing is also a success, albeit a modest one. Dry in its telling, the narrative does not require a lot of chewing; it's mercifully brief.
