The word "intelligence" has always carred with it an aura of mystery and its own mythology. The history of the Intelligence Corps leaves not doubt that despite the inescapable need for the tightest security over most intelligence activities, these have grown in the late-19th and 20th centuries to assume an importance which must rank alongside any other military reources in a nation's armoury. This study traces the development of the Intelligence Corps, from the birth pangs during World War I, through the struggle for survival between the wars, to the triumphs of World War II and beyond. Two major points emerge in this story - the sheer scale of intelligence operations between 1939 and 1945, and the intellectual quality of the officers and men who were reponsible for them. The move to more open government has made possible the release of a welter of information for public consumption, which until recent years has been jealously guarded, making possible the writing of this work.

Considers how South African democracy is being threatened by illegal spying carried out by its own National Intelligence Agency (NIA). Such activity is attributed to (1) senior intelligence officers' belief that it is legitimate for them to "bend the rules," & (2) failure by Parliament & the executive branch to curtail these practices. As part of a Commission on Intelligence in South Africa, the author offers several recommendations for addressing this problem & calls for a complete overhaul of the laws on spying. K. Hyatt Stewart

Johnson examines the role of communications and intelligence in policing. Based on an evaluation of a unit within the Office of the Washington Attorney General, Johnson demonstrates that information flow in the criminal justice system is often hindered by self-interest and a lack of trust between members of the criminal justice community. Johnson studied people at various responsibility levels, including community corrections officers, crime investigators, supervisors, and police chiefs and Sheriffs. The existence of trust-based relationships is not the only key to effective intelligence-led p.

Unlike many standard works on compliance, this book focuses not on the goals, but on the means that enable effective compliance. From the internal perspective of the compliance officer, everyday problems are addressed and solved with the help of concrete, tried-and-tested measures. Based on the tension between profit generation and compliance, ethical principles as well as the appearance of compliance, its handling of contacts and its procedure in the event of violations are also discussed. Psychological and sociological insights broaden the perspective, put people at the center and offer new starting points for designing successful compliance.

The long-awaited memoirs of a legendary figure in the history of American intelligence.

Applicants to the Central Intelligence Agency often asked Edward Mickolus what they might expect in a career there. Mickolus, a former CIA intelligence officer whose duties also included recruiting and public affairs, never had a simple answer. If applicants were considering a life in the National Clandestine Service, the answer was easy. Numerous memoirs show the lives of operations officers collecting secret intelligence overseas, conducting counterintelligence investigations, and running covert action programs. But the CIA isn't only about case officers in far-flung areas of the world, recruiting spies to steal secrets. For an applicant considering a career as an analyst, a support officer, a scientist, or even a secretary, few sources provide reliable insight into what a more typical career at the CIA might look like. This collection of the exploits and insights of twenty-nine everyday agency employees is Mickolus's answer. From individuals who have served at the highest levels of the agency to young officers just beginning their careers, Stories from Langley reveals the breadth of career opportunities available at the CIA and offers advice from agency officers themselves.

On Tuesday 7 July 1936, a few weeks before the spectacular opening by Adolf Hitler of the Berlin Olympics, seven men sat around a large ornate table in a four-story building just opposite the entrance to Downing Street to discuss what was known of the growing military challenge that Germany posed for the British Empire. Six of the men were officers representing the intelligence staffs of the Royal Navy, Army, and Royal Air Force (RAF). The seventh was a shadowy civilian whose background was in an organization that had then no official existence, the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS). The building in which the meeting was taking place, No. 2 Whitehall Gardens, had previously made history when an earlier occupant, Benjamin Disraeli, had held meetings of his Cabinet there.1 William F. Moneypenny The Life of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield (London: John Murray, 1920), p. 285. Now the large ornate rooms, modeled in the French style, similar to the interior of the Palace at Versailles, housed the Committee of Imperial Defence (CID) and the Chiefs of Staff (COS) Committee. At their direction the key figures in British intelligence were meeting formally in committee for the first time. Outside the storm clouds gathered, and as the clock chimed 11 o'clock in the Secretary's Room on the first floor, the chairman, a Brigadier in the East Yorkshire Regiment, opened proceedings.2 The weather forecast is courtesy of the Meteorological Office archive. I am grateful to Glyn Hughes for this information. The Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) had come into being.
