USP - Conférence : "Comment je suis devenu espion"
Lecture by Vincent Crouzet
What is it like to be a spy? How do you live undercover? What methods do you use to infiltrate enemy networks or carry out missions in a war zone? Through these fascinating questions, Vincent Crouzet will share with us some insights from his experience as a former clandestine agent for the DGSE, serving his country. He offers us a unique perspective on the world of foreign intelligence, where operations sometimes take place on the fringes of legality, for the benefit of intereststhat blend geostrategy and greed. Years of extraordinary dedication behind the scenes of history?
