Just published. AFIO's 800-page Guide to the Study of Intelligence. Peter C. Oleson, Editor. View table of contents and names of authors here. Perfect for professors, students, those considering careers in intelligence, and current/former officers seeking to see what changes are taking place across a wide spectrum of intelligence disciplines. AFIO's Guide to the Study of Intelligence helps instructors teach about the large variety of subjects that make up the field of intelligence. This includes secondary school teachers of American History, Civics, or current events and undergraduate and graduate professors of History, Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies, and related topics, especially those with no or limited professional experience in the field. Even those who are former practitioners are likely to have only a limited knowledge of the very broad field of intelligence, as most spend their careers in one or two agencies at most and may have focused only on collection or analysis of intelligence or support to those activities. In order to ensure that the Guide is useful and not overwhelming, each article is brief. This means that the topics addressed in the Guide are not comprehensive. However, some addressing complex subjects, such as reconnaissance from space, intelligence in WWII, and the history of espionage cases, are longer. The Guide is organized into seven parts. Part I includes four introductory articles. Part II is on the history of intelligence from antiquity to the post- Cold War world. Part III examines the intelligence disciplines, applications, and support to various missions. Part IV relates to teaching about espionage, counterintelligence, and covert action. Part V addresses some of the major issues related to intelligence policy and oversight. While most of the Guide is US-centric, Part VI focuses on intelligence organizations in other countries. Part VII includes three articles on how to stay informed and the literature of intelligence. $95, includes Fedex shipping to a CONUS (US-based) address.

Book of the Week: The Prometheus Bomb: The Manhattan Project and Government in the Dark by Neil J. Sullivan (Potomac Books; December 1, 2016) There are many histories of the atom bomb, but this excellent addition to the literature from Sullivan, professor in the School of Public Affairs at Baruch College, tells the story from an unusual angle, pointing out that many of the American leaders who launched the Manhattan Project as a matter of national survival had no understanding of the science involved. The scientists made decisions with potentially catastrophic consequences while assuming, correctly, that their superiors would go along. Politicians made political choices with similar insouciance. Told that the war effort required some patriotic silence about rather large military expenditures, Congress submitted to the demands of the fledgling national security apparatus, beginning a baleful tradition. In deciding not to share details with allies, America offended Britain but not the U.S.S.R., whose spies kept it informed. It's arguable whether any historian can deliver a satisfying explanation for Truman's decision to use the bomb, but Sullivan examines everyone's motives without resorting to hindsight. Readers of Richard Rhodes's classic, The Making of the Atomic Bomb, will not regret reading this parallel history, which passes over Oppenheimer and his brilliant crew in order to emphasize their non-scientist superiors, including Vannevar Bush, Gen. Leslie Groves, and FDR. Sullivan shows that the decisions of these powerful men triumphed in the short run but produced dismal long-term consequences that remain with us. -- Publishers Weekly The book may be pre-ordered here.

Section I - INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Section II - CONTEXT & PRECEDENCE

Morocco Tipped Off Israeli Intelligence, 'Helped Israel Win Six Day War'.  Israel largely has Morocco to thank for its victory over its Arab enemies in the 1967 Six Day War, according to revelations by a former Israeli military intelligence chief.

In 1965, King Hassan ll passed recordings to Israel of a key meeting between Arab leaders held to discuss whether they were prepared for war against Israel.

That meeting not only revealed that Arab ranks were split - heated arguments broke out, for example, between Egypt's president Gamal Abdel-Nasser and Jordan's king Hussein - but that the Arab nations were ill prepared for war, Maj. Gen. Shlomo Gazit told the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper over the weekend.

On the basis of these recordings, as well as other intelligence information gathered in the years leading up to the war, Israel launched a preemptive strike on the morning of June 5, 1967, bombing Egyptian airfields and destroying nearly every Egyptian fighter plane.  [Read more:  Surkes/TimesofIsrael/16October]

Spy Agencies Team up With National Academies.  In an unprecedented move, U.S. intelligence agencies are teaming up with the nation's most prestigious scientific body in a bid to make better use of findings from the country's leading social and behavioral scientists.

The partnership between the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) in Tysons Corner, Virginia, and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine aims to build bridges between communities that historically have either ignored one another or butted heads. The effort includes the creation of a permanent Intelligence Community Studies Board at the academies, which will meet for the first time next week, as well as a first-ever study of how social and behavioral science research might strengthen national security.

David Honey, ODNI director of science and technology under Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, says he hopes that the new partnership will help the intelligence community improve how it collects and analyzes information. He and others are eager for help picking out useful and relevant research, as well as grasping where there is a lack of good science. Understanding "the limitations of our knowledge," says Robert Fein, a national security psychologist in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a member of the new intelligence board, "will help to protect us against armies of snake oil salesmen."

One area in dire need of better research is figuring out when people are lying, Fein says. After the start of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, he notes, intelligence agencies poured money into research on both mechanical - think polygraphs - and behavioral - think interrogations - methods of detecting deception. But the results were disappointing, recalls Fein, who led a 2006 report on interrogation techniques for the director of national intelligence. "Researchers overpromised," he says, "and there were few useful results after millions of dollars were spent."  [Read more:  Mervis/ScienceMag/12October2016]

Chief Brief: How Intelligence Officials Prepare for a New President.  Behind the scenes of the 2016 presidential election, there is a group of intelligence chiefs tasked with preparing the next administration for its job ahead.

At the September Intelligence and National Security Summit in Washington, DC, the leaders of US intelligence agencies explained how they are preparing for the inevitable presidential transition.

CIA Director John Brennan described his agency's efforts to set up a "Presidential Transition Office" to ensure that the next President is fully aware of national security threats.

"And we are preparing, as we have done in previous administrations, we have set up a presidential transition office, so that we have the materials and the briefings ready for the incoming team," Brennan said.  [Read more:  King/BUQuad/11October2016]

GCHQ's New Puzzle Book: Can You Crack It?  Normally when we think about a puzzle book what springs to mind is simple crosswords or brain teasers. That's changed now as GCHQ, the UK government intelligence agency, has just released a book of codes that everyone's invited to break.  [Read more:  SputnikNews/17October2016]

CIA and the Wars in Southeast Asia, 1947-75.  This digitally interactive and hyperlinked DoD-logo.jpg anthology was prepared as a contribution to Department of Defense-led interagency efforts to commemorate the passing of 50 years since the large-scale engagement of the military forces of the United States and other countries in defending the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) against communist guerrilla, mainforce, and North Vietnamese Army units. For CIA, and many members of the US military, engagement in South Vietnam began well before what is marked as the beginning of the 50th anniversary commemoration, 1965. As the 41 articles selected by CIA historian Clayton Laurie for this anthology will show, Southeast Asia was the focus of CIA activity as long ago as the early 1950s, when it was directed to provide support to French efforts to maintain control of its colony of Indonesia.

This volume is dedicated to the men and women of the United States, Allied nations, and peoples of the region with whom US intelligence worked to thwart the advance the advance of communism in Southeast Asia. Among the more than fifty-three thousand Americans who gave their lives were eighteen members of the Central Intelligence Agency, their sacrifices marked by stars carved into CIA's Memorial Wall.  [Read more:  CIA/September2016]

Customer Service Matters in the Intelligence Community, Too.  Customer experience matters hugely to civilian agencies that deal with millions of American citizens every day, but there's also a big push within the intelligence community to improve customer service where national security is concerned.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which produces and collects vast amounts of geospatial and map-related data used within the IC, launched the "Xperience" directorate three years ago to figure out how better to deliver its products and services to a wide array of customers under what can sometimes be critical time pressures.

"We are providing the look from the customer's point of view," said Christy Monaco, director of Xperience for NGA. Monaco spoke Tuesday at an event hosted by Defense One.

The Xperience wing, she said, is melding business intelligence data with surveys, customer journey maps and analog selections of customer information, and then using it to better segment its customers to "do a better job at getting them what they need."  [Read more:  Konkel/NextGov/11October2016]

Stephen de Mowbray, Last of the Great Cold War Molehunters.  Stephen de Mowbray, the last of the great "molehunters", who has died aged 91, ran the MI6 side of a spying operation against senior MI5 officers suspected of being Soviet agents at the height of the Cold War.

De Mowbray, who became unfairly known within MI6 (the Secret Intelligence Service) as its "leading conspiracy theorist", worked with Peter Wright (an expert on bugging who later wrote Spycatcher) and the veteran MI5 officer Arthur Martin in the hunt for a mole at the very top of MI5.

The investigation was prompted by a succession of revelations from Soviet defectors, notably Igor Gouzenko, who defected to Canada in 1945, and Anatoli Golitsyn, a KGB officer who went over to the Americans in 1961, to the effect that there was a Soviet mole in the Security Service, MI5.

The 1950s and early 1960s saw the British establishment rocked by a succession of spy scandals, from the defections of Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, the naming of Kim Philby as the so-called Third Man in the Cambridge Spy Ring, to the Profumo scandal.  [Read more:  TheTelegraph/7October2016]

William Morrow McGhee.  William M. McGhee, a decorated Central Intelligence Agency officer died on October 8th. At 94, he was one of the last living witnesses of the Office of Strategic Services' World War II activities in Asia and was a founding member of the CIA. His 41-year career spanned the formation of the modern US intelligence establishment to his retirement from the CIA in 1979. To the regret of those who were closest to him, he always remained circumspect about his actions in the Cold War.

He died of age-related causes this week at the Collington Retirement Community, located in Bowie, Maryland.

The definition of the cold war warrior, Mr. McGhee joined the CIA in 1948 shortly after it was founded and served in a variety of overseas postings in Asia, Africa, and Europe. While almost all of his career was shielded from the public behind a wall of secrecy, he worked for a few years in the 1960s for James Angleton, the CIA's famed spy catcher; was awarded the CIA's Intelligence Medal of Merit for actions in Ethiopia; and was posted under state department cover in various embassies located in the Philippines, Ethiopia, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In his final post in London from 1974 to 1979, he became embroiled in the notorious activities of Philip Agee.   [Read more:  DignityMemorial/8October2016]

Saturday, 5 November 2016, 10am-4pm - Washington, DC - Tenth Annual Parade of Trabants - at the International Spy Museum

It's been more than 25 years since the Berlin Wall fell, but one Cold War icon is still chugging away—the Trabant.  Despite their questionable performance and smoky two-stroke engines, these little cars are now regarded as a symbol of East Germany and the fall of Communism. Trabants are a rarity here, but on November 5 some of the finest examples of Trabants in the US will chug their way to the International Spy Museum to celebrate the Tenth Annual Parade of Trabants. Drop in to view the vintage cars, which will be parked in front of the Museum on F Street, NW, and enter a raffle to win a ride in a Trabant. You can even be part of the annual Trabant stuffing contest.  While the cars are on display, experts will be on hand to answer questions about Trabants, the Cold War, and Communism, while the Alte Kameraden German Band provides festive music. Try your hand at graffiti Berlin-style and see if you can fit into the tiny spaces like those escaping from East Berlin did. The event is free. Visit www.spymuseum.org

Monday, 14 November 2016, 6:30-9pm - Washington, DC - Spy School Workshop: Using Iraqi WMD to Understand the Analytic Process - at the International Spy Museum

What was it like to be an intelligence analyst in the lead up to the Iraq War?  This simulation gives you the chance to find out.  How would you fare with limited information and colleagues you may not know from agencies that may have different agendas than your own?  This multi-stage simulation mimics the analytic process of the US Intelligence Community to produce the National Intelligence Estimates (NIE).  Your team of analysts will be assigned the role of an agency such as the CIA or DIA, and then must work with other groups to prepare an NIE that assesses the status of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program.  Hindsight is not allowed. You'll be using actual intelligence available to analysts in 2002.  Dr. William J. Lahneman, a former US Navy Surface Warfare Officer, professor of homeland security at Embry-Riddle University, and co-editor of The Art of Intelligence: Simulations, Exercises, and Games, will lead the simulation.  Tickets for the general public: $40.
