      abstract = {"Information Gathering in Classical Greece opens with  chapters on tactical, strategic, and covert agents. Methods  of communication are explored, from fire-signals to  dead-letter drops. Frank Russell categorizes and defines  the collectors and sources of information according to  their era, methods, and spheres of operation, and he also  provides evidence from ancient authors on interrogation and  the handling and weighing of information.
