What is espionage and why do governments, companies, and people spend major resources on it?... Perhaps this question was best answered by the hero of the Napoleonic Wars, Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, who was "guessing what was at the other side of the hill."... The goal of espionage, intelligence, or spying, is usually to find information, especially regarding knowledge (what do you know that we don't) or intentions (what do you plan to do, and why?).
