Dirty Tricks or Trump Cards: U.S.Covert Action and Counterintelligence (Brassey's Intelligence & National Security Library.) - Hardcover
Reseña del editor
American intelligence is again under intense scrutiny and its future role and organization uncertain. The past 20 years have yielded a wealth of information about spying. But when it comes to two key elements of intelligence, counterintelligence and covert action, our knowedge remains sketchy. Both are viewed with suspicion and distaste in the United States and other democratic societies. Are they "dirty tricks" as portrayed by fiction writers and polemicists? Or, as this book argues, "trump cards" that when well-played provide a winning edge? This book traces the evolution of covert action and counterintelligence through the last 50 years of US history: the successes and failures; the products and the processes; and the organizations. As the United States struggles to deal with rogue states, terrorists, drug barons, increasingly sophisticated financial criminals and a proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the need for effective counterintelligence and covert action becomes more pressing than ever.

Hard Cover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+. First Edition. 337 pp, large 8vo (9 1/2" H). "Are covert operations merely 'dirty tricks' or can they be trump cards, skillfully played to provide decisive advantages in world politics? Throughout history, what has happened to states that have developed and effectively used these covert instruments - and to those that have not? What is needed to maintain effective covert capabilities? Roy Godson, one of the country's foremost experts on intelligence, untangles fact from fiction and provides often surprising answers to these provocative questions. Drawing on scholarly literature, broad-ranging contacts and discussions with foreign intelligence services, considerable experience as a consultant to the U.S. intelligence community, and his own research, Dr. Godson traces the history of U.S. covert action and counterintelligence, focusing on its successes and failures. As the United States struggles to deal with new challenges to its security - regional, ethnic, and religious conflicts; weapons proliferation; terrorism; and organized crime - this groundbreaking study explains the circumstances under which covert capabilities can be used most effectively." Slight wrinkling at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has minor rubbing and minor edge wrinkling. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 17420
