- Synopsis
- This book is intended to provide an understanding of the role of intelligence in creating national security policy and the strengths and weaknesses of the intelligence community. The primary theme of this book, now in its fourth edition, is that intelligence is subservient to policy and that it is most analytically and operationally effective when it works within distinct policy goals. Topics include the development of U.S. intelligence and the U.S. intelligence community, counterintelligence and covert action, oversight and accountability, intelligence reform, and ethical, moral, and transnational issues. Author Lowenthal is a former intelligence official and currently an educator and CEO of a national security training, education, and consulting company.
