Light pencil oprice on front endpaper and remainder mark on front page edges. Understanding of the national intelligence system is often incomplete in terms of both its structure and function. This book by former CIA veteran Scott Breckinridge explains the complexities of the system with a concentration on the National Security Council-the system's center-and the Central Intelligence Agency-its main coordinating instrument and principal collection arm. Mr. Breckinridge reviews the origin and development of modern intelligence systems with special emphasis on the U.S. establishment. He describes and analyzes the main fields of intelligence and the characteristics of special intelligence sectors, the reasons for their existence, and their missions, targets, and problems. Particular attention is given to the vexing dilemma of overt versus covert activities, the sharp differentiation between the basic mission of intelligence collection and the CIA's additional, massive task of actively influencing conditions abroad. The author also deals with the dramatic changes in intelligence gathering and analysis due to the rapidly accelerating evolution of technical surveillance equipment. Finally, he discusses the status of intelligence under U.S. and international law and the principles and standards of conduct to be observed by those engaged in intelligence work. This treatise deepens our understanding of the entire intelligence process and all its ramifications. It is balanced, authoritative, reasonable, and objective. Extensive footnotes and a detailed index support a wide-ranging discussion that is an essential addition to any library. Seller Inventory # 13761
