Ambassador Bushnell provides lessons of leadership, crisis management, and policy acumen. Dramatically illustrates the terrorism danger diplomats [and intelligence officers] confront daily." ―Ambassador Robert E. Gribbin III (Ret.) "Bushnell is a true professional with the toughness, grit, courage, and compassion that marks the kind of superb leader you want in charge during a crisis. I witnessed her remarkable composure, even when personally injured, and her take-command leadership. This book is important for many reasons.

New and Forthcoming Books of the Week Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyper-connected World by Bruce Schneier (Norton, Sep 2018) The internet is powerful, but it is not safe. As "smart" devices proliferate the risks will get worse, unless we act now. From driverless cars to smart thermostats, from autonomous stock-trading systems to drones equipped with their own behavioral algorithms, the internet now has direct effects on the physical world. While this computerized future, often called the Internet of Things (IoT), carries enormous potential, IBM's CTO/author Bruce Schneier argues that catastrophe awaits in its new vulnerabilities and dangers. Forget data theft: cutting-edge digital attackers can now literally crash your car, pacemaker, and home security system, as well as everyone else's. Schneier explores the risks and security implications of our hyper-connected era and lays out common-sense policies that will allow us to enjoy the benefits of this omnipotent age without falling prey to the consequences of its insecurity. From principles for a more resilient IoT to a recipe for sane government oversight. Book may be ordered here. Count Girls In: Empowering Girls to Combine Any Interests with STEM to Open Up a World of Opportunity by Karen Panetta Ph.D. and Katianne Williams (Chicago Review Press, Aug 2018) For all daughters, grands, nieces, educators, counsellors, advisors. To succeed in STEM fields today, girls don't have to change who they are. A girl who combines her natural talents, interests, and dreams with STEM skills has a greater shot than ever before at a career she loves and a salary she deserves. Maybe you have a daughter who loves cooking, soccer, and musicals. Maybe she's a social butterfly, an athlete, a fashionista, and a humanitarian who wants to change the world. Panetta-Williams show that there is a place for all girls and young women—not just science fair winners and robotics club members—in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, if we can keep their (and our) minds and options open and meet them where they are. Count Girls In encourages parents and other adults to raise authentic young women who have the confidence to put STEM to work in a way that best serves them and their passions. This isn't a book about raising competitive, test-acing girls in lab coats; this is about raising happy, confident girls who realize the world of opportunities before them. Panette is professor of electrical and computer engineering at Tufts University, and founder of the international nonprofi t Nerd Girls (www.nerdgirls.com). Williams has an engineering degree from Tufts and an MFA from George Mason University. Book may be ordered here.

Section II - CONTEXT & PRECEDENCE

Jack Ryan Star John Krasinski Reveals What Surprised Him Most on his CIA Visits.  When John Krasinski was approached about playing Jack Ryan in the upcoming Amazon series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, he thought back to a recent film he'd done. "I had done 13 Hours which was so new to me and I loved every single second of it," Krasinski says. "It really was about getting to the truth of the story, to the truth of the people, and to make sure that you captured the essence of who you were playing and the world that they were in. That really taught me how to approach this role too, that as much as this is a Hollywood entertainment character, it really is representative of so many incredible men and women who have dedicated their lives to the rest of us and this incredible feeling of pride in our country."

Five Myths About Security Clearances.  This past week, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said President Trump was considering revoking the security clearances of former high-ranking officials who had criticized him, such as onetime director of national intelligence James Clapper, CIA director John Brennan and national security adviser Susan Rice. It wasn't the first time the shadowy, little-understood process behind access to the government's innermost secrets was the center of questions this year. Here are some of the most common misunderstandings.  [Read more:  Graff/washingtonpost/27July2018]

Gift Suggestions:

AFIO's 788-page Guide to the Study of Intelligence. Peter C. Oleson, Editor, also makes a good gift. View authors and table of contents 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.

For a printed, bound copy, it is $95 which includes Fedex shipping to a CONUS (US-based) address.
