PREC 104.001 How to Catch a Spy: (Sordid) Tales of Counterespionage

Through the ages, people have spied for various reasons—sometimes pure, more often not. It is precisely because of these motivations, though, that they get caught. The spy’s behavior, increasingly unfettered, tips others, and inevitably leads to his demise. In this session, we explore the layers of human vice as they have intersected with the power and politics of international relations—in the murky realm or intelligence.

Preceptorial Leader: Mr. Mark Castillo & Dr. Frank Plantan, International Relations Dept
