In this pathbreaking book, Amy Zegart provides the first scholarly examination of the intelligence failures that preceded September 11. Until now, those failures have been attributed largely to individual mistakes. But Zegart shows how and why the intelligence system itself left us vulnerable. Zegart argues that after the Cold War ended, the CIA and FBI failed to adapt to the rise of terrorism. She makes the case by conducting painstaking analysis of more than three hundred intelligence reform recommendations and tracing the history of CIA and FBI counterterrorism efforts from 1991 to 2001, dr

Revolutionary War officer Nathan Hale, one of America’s first spies, said, “Any kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary.” A statue of Hale stands outside CIA headquarters, and the agency often cites his statement as one of its guiding principles. But who decides what is necessary for the public good, and is it really true that any kind of service is permissible for the public good? These questions are at the heart of James M. Olson’s book, Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying. Olson, a veteran of the CIA’s clandestine service, takes reader

Spying on America explores all five COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counterintelligence Program) operations, chronicling the period when the FBI monitored--and in many cases disrupted--virtually our entire social and political protest movement. From 1956 until COINTELPRO’s exposure in 1971, the FBI expanded its domestic surveillance programs and increasingly employed questionable, even unlawful, methods. Davis demonstrates how the system of checks and balances, designed to prevent such occurrences, was simply not functioning--until an illegal act uncovered the secret activities.
