I am grateful to those of my colleagues in this first generation of American "spymasters" who were willing to share their experiences with me even after I retired to my unclassified farm . I am indebted to Howard Roman , who worked with Allen Dulles on his intelligence writings , for his assistance in the preparation of the early chapters, and to Nancy Kelly, my editor at Reader's Digest Press , for the sharp edge of her pruning shears .

Foreign policy—including economic policy and national security policy—and the appropriate planning, decisionmaking, and execution of that policy depend upon foreign intelligence, which must be collected on a global scale, checked, compared, sifted, analyzed, and coordinated. The collection, analysis, and delivery of this body of information require

The CIA Guide to Clandestine OperationsCovert operations are an intelligence operation that is carried clandestinely and, often, outside of official channels. Covert operations aim to fulfill their mission objectives without any parties knowing who sponsored or carried out the operation.Clandestine Activity is surreptitious or secret activity undertaken by professional organizations on behalf of governments or conspiratorial groups only when overt means are inadequate or not possible to acquire such information.Since the early 1970's, the CIA, for various reasons, has become a risk adverse intelligence organization. Clandestine and espionage operations by their very nature are high risk ventures. One solution to the CIA's problem was to enter in to joint espionage ventures with foreign governments whose intelligence agencies were known for their professionalism and expertise. The CIA financed these operations and their partner ran the operation and assumed the risk. The CIA shared in any intelligence produced in these operations. Great Britain's MI6 and Israel's Mossad were frequent partners in these types of clandestine operations. The second solution was to train and liaison with lesser foreign intelligence agencies. Many times the funding for this training was concealed in Foreign Aid packages. This type of relationship allowed the CIA to maintain a “Big Brother” relationship with certain foreign intelligence agencies for years. The parameters of this relationship allowed the CIA to utilize the “Little Brother's” resources and manpower to collect intelligence on common enemies, such as the Soviet Union. The CIA's training materials formed the basis of, or in some cases, the entirety of the host countries espionage and clandestine operational doctrine. Much of the third world's intelligence agencies in Asia, South America, the Middle East, and Africa owe their clandestine tradecraft to the CIA. This guide, although the current doctrine of a key American ally in the Global War on Terror, has the pure DNA of CIA clandestine tradecraft.

This book is a compilation of CRS reports on the intelligence community. Congresss and the American publics ability to oversee and understand how intelligence dollars are spent is limited by the secrecy that surrounds the intelligence budget process. Chapter 1 is designed to shed light on the IC budgetin terms of its programs, management, and enduring issuesusing unclassified materials available in the public domain. Chapter 2 focuses on cross-cutting management issues that affect the Intelligence Communitys (ICs) ability to counter pervasive and emerging threats to the United States and balance resources both appropriately and wisely. The next chapter reports on the use of contractors within the intelligence community. Chapter 4 provides the names and appointment provisions for selected Intelligence Community (IC) senior officials. Chapter 5 summarizes dates and directives for the establishment of each of the 17 IC component organizations. IC Directive 116, Intelligence Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Evaluation System provides guidance for the IPPBE process. The IPPBE process applies to all 17 IC components as discussed in chapter 6. Chapter 7 differentiates clandestine from covert, using clandestine to signify the tactical concealment of the activity and covert operations as planned and executed to conceal the identity of or permit plausible denial by the sponsor. The next chapter builds on the notification requirements and the different authorities of the U. S. Code need for covert action and clandestine activities. Chapter 9 posits a potential framework for congressional oversight of intelligence-related programs and activities using the existing committee structure and notification standards for the most sensitive intelligence activities: covert action and clandestine intelligence collection. Total intelligence spending is usually understood as the combination of the National Intelligence Program (NIP), which supports strategic planning and policymaking, and the Military Intelligence Program (MIP), which supports military operational and tactical levels of planning and operations as reported in chapter 10. Chapter 11 examines intelligence funding over the past several decades, with an emphasis on the period from 2007-2016.

“Clears up some common misconceptions of the CIA . . . an insider’s perspective on how covert action really works, or fails” (Savannah Morning News). Covert action has been used as an instrument of statecraft by America’s leaders since its earliest days. Some presidents have used it wisely, contributing to our success and security. Others have used it poorly, not understanding its limitations and weaknesses, with disastrous results. Surrounded by secrecy as it is, it’s not surprising that covert action can provoke confusion, ambivalence, and strong feelings among the citizens of a democracy. Executive Secrets shines a light on the development and execution of foreign policy and the role covert action has played—forging a deeper and more nuanced understanding of both its value and its drawbacks in the ongoing project of keeping the United States safe from its adversaries and respected by its allies. “A most informative study of covert action. . . . A valuable work that will be treasured by scholars and professionals in the field. Highly recommended.” —Choice “Daugherty has done us all a tremendous service by attempting to rescue the Agency from the myths, both well-meaning and malevolent, that shape our understanding of it. . . . This book ought to dispel some of the fog that obscures our understanding of the C.I.A. and that prompts the gigantic mood swings in our attitude toward intelligence gathering and covert actions.” —Mark Bowden, from the foreword A History Book Club Selection

Traces our country's long history of covert and special operations, focusing on the similarities and differences in the practice from the Revolutionary War to the present. Long before the creation of the CIA, the American government utilized special intelligence strategies with varying degrees of success. Even though critics throughout time have questioned the effectiveness and legitimacy of these tactics, presidents from George Washington to Barack Obama have employed secret operations to benefit the nation's best interest. This book follows America's history of intelligence gathering, undercover operations, and irregular warfare. Through chronologically organized chapters, the author examines secret military maneuvers, highlighting the elements common to covert and special operations across historical eras, and concluding with a chapter on national security since the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The military intelligence co11111unity is one of the most misunderstood and maligned facets of the U.S. government. To much of the American public, intelligence means an organization of James Bonds, sophisticated, super-individualists, John Waynes who live slightly beyond the law. To others, military intelligence is considered as a constant threat to American democracy, a danger that must be contained and minimized.
