Chasing Spies: How the FBI Failed in Counter-Intelligence But Promoted the Politics of McCarthyism in the ...2 reviews
Athan Theoharis
Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2002
A fantastic book
I used this book for an undergraduate course on U.S. intelligence history at a very selective college and it was universally well-received.
The book presents a comprehensive treatment and assessment of FBI counter-intelligence dating back to the 1930's. This is a shadowy subject since the crime-fighting "celebrity" cases of the 30's (See: Bryan Burroughs' _Public Enemies) have always ...

The Origins of FBI Counterintelligence (Modern War Studies)4 reviews
Raymond J. Batvinis
University Press of Kansas, 2007
Excellent Historical Reference on the FBI
This book is a fast, easy read with lots of details and facts about the early history of FBI. It is a must read for students of the pre-WW II era. Batvinis has done some supurb primary reasearch, even gong back to FDR's personal files to see what he said about the threats against our country. I just retired from the FBI after 30 years and I didn't know half the stuff in this book.

Robert W. Pringle
The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 2006
Indispensable - and not just for understanding the past
An excellent point of departure for further research into many areas of Russian and Soviet intelligence,and increasingly, the current Russian state: according to a recent Moscow Times article, "An astounding 78 percent of the country's leadership has links to the KGB or FSB, according to estimates by Olga Kryshtanovskaya, a leading sociologist who tracks Kremlin politics and the security ...

Turning Intelligence into Value
"Ninety percent of the information used in organizations is internally focused and only ten percent about the outside environment. This is exactly backwards." -- Peter Drucker As usual, in one pithy phrase, management sage Peter Drucker captured the central problem facing organizations in uncertain environments -- they look in the wrong place. In volatile times, humans tend to hunker down in ...

Dirty Tricks or Trump Cards: U.S. Covert Action and Counterintelligence2 reviews
Transaction Publishers, 2000
What Bush's Advisers Are Telling Him
A quick, cheap alternative to setting up your own spy network. SPY BOOKS have evolved. Early in the 20th century we had thrillers and fantasies, shamelessly implausible but racy and fun, culminating in Bond. Thoughtful spy novels began with Somerset Maugham's Ashenden (1928), featuring a detached hero on a journey to disillusion, a process brought to its apotheosis by le Carre via Greene. In ...

In the Shadow of the Sphinx: A History of Army Counterintelligence1 review
James L. Gilbert, John P. Finnegan, ...
Dept. of the Army, 2005
An Army Counterintelligence Officer for over 26 Years
An excellent history of Army Counterintelligence from infancy to the Cold War Era. I found the book very informative, especially the unclassified details of the organization and structure of Army Counterintelligence over the past decade. The author should write another book on how Army Counterintelligence has changed due to the War on Terror. The author provides a wealth of pictures that ...

Spy Wars: Moles, Mysteries, and Deadly Games 14 reviews
Tennent H. Bagley
Yale University Press, 2007
Serious Important Book
While this book is likely not written for the general public , in my opinion it is one of the most important books written in the past few years. I also am a former intelligence officer . I had a number of dealings with James Angleton during my 20 plus years of service. The numermous allegations that Angleton was paranoid constituted total nonsense. The fact that Pete Bagley and Jim Angleton who ...

The Man Who Never Was: World War II's Boldest Counter-Intelligence Operation9 reviews
Ewen Montagu
Bluejacket Books, 2001
First hand account of a brilliant espionage campaign
Modern novellists would never have thought of this simple yet highly complicated plan to deceive the Germans during World War II. This book is written by Ewen Montagu who actually undertook the whole operation. Due to the fact of its high secrecy it could not first be revealed until the Mid-1950's when the first edition came out. Even then the full story could not be told for one of the other ...

The Hunt for Nazi Spies: Fighting Espionage in Vichy France2 reviews
Simon Kitson
University Of Chicago Press, 2007
Intriguing and very accessible
This is a really fascinating book which goes well beyond just the question of espionage and counter-espionage. It offers an entirely new take on the Vichy government and its relationship with the Germans by showing that inspite of extensive collaboration the regime struggled to maintain its sovereignty through the arrest of German spies. Anyone interested in espionage or the Second World War will ...

Law Enforcement Counterintelligence3 reviews
Lawrence B. Sulc
Varro Press, 1996
A must for the LEO
A pleasure to read. Holds your attention every second. The author mixed theory with real life experiences. He has a vast trajectory as a spook and knows what he talks. The book explains in detail intelligence operations by gangs, organized crime and drug cartels. Also include IntelOps by terrorists orgs. Although the book was published almost 5 years ago it is still one to keep on my desk.

KUBARK: Counterintelligence Interrogation1 review
Central Intelligence Agency
CreateSpace, 1963
This is the famous Kubark manual
An interesting peek into the state of professionalism in 1963 and a unique historical document. The chapter stereotyping interrogation subjects is most intriguing and the book is worth the price just for the author(s)'s bibliography.
I didn't have the heart to read the duress chapter.
This manual has been cut up and pasted into newer CIA guides which, given its original limitations, paints ...

The Labyrinth: Memoirs Of Walter Schellenberg, Hitler's Chief Of Counterintelligence14 reviews
Walter Schellenberg
Da Capo Press, 2000
History from someone who was there at the highets level
Since Mr. Schellenberg was a high ranking nazi you have to be aware that he has to have been covering his own tracks. Lets be honest he had to walk a fine line between the complete truth and perhaps a noose. We can assume he stretches the truth a bit here and there and surely omits things he'd rather not have known. But it is fasinating to learn what it was like being as close as he was to ...

Thwarting Enemies at Home and Abroad: How to Be a Counterintelligence Officer1 review
William R. Johnson
Georgetown University Press, 2009
Thwarting Enemies at Home and Abroad
I have written this for people who want to know what counterintelligence is, not what it ought to be, and for people who may be interested in it as a trade or profession.
The book is about what professional intelligence officers call "tradecraft", specifically the craft used in the trade of counterintelligence. It is not about politics or policy or communism or anticommunism or justice in the ...
