This is the first edition of an annotated, unclassified
bibliography designed for researchers on intelligence proc-
esses and functions and produced by the Center for the Study
of Intelligence in OTR. It was developed primarily for
internal use in the Center but is being given wider distri-
bution in the belief that it may also be of use to a
variety of other CIA elements.
An effort has been made to list materials of interest
on the processes of collection as well as production, although
only a sampling of the extensive, anecdotal "spy" literature
of intelligence has been included. It will be readily apparent
that the available unclassified literature useful for serious
intelligence research is still very spotty.
Copies of most of the papers and articles listed in the
bibliography are available in the Center.
Additional entries suggested by users for a future,
expanded edition are welcome and can be addressed to the
Director of Studies, CSI/OTR.

Although ten years old,-this volume takes on new meaning in
the light of the attention focused on CIA's covert action
function. The author, with some intelligence experience",
but now a college professor, reviews not only the common CA
episodes usually contained in volumes of this kind, but also
includes a good deal of reflective material on the implications
as he sees them of CA'operations. A research study of CA or,:
of any intelligence collection function would need to. include
this volume as one of its starting points.

the myriad aspects of the role of intelligence, domestic and
foreign, in our society. Lost of the articles, which range
through discussions of the.:FBI and police intelligence to the

Clark, Keith C.,'and Legere,' Laurence J., e.ds. The President
and the Management of National Security. New York:
Frederic A. Praeger', 1'969, 274 pp.
'lost of the studies of'the overall management-of the national
security process have been produced by various executive and
congressional commissions. This volume has the virtue of
being a non-governmental report designed to resume the organi-
zational history of the process since 11W1 II, pose and grapple
with the major conceptual issues in the process and evaluate
various alternatives for changed organization which would
lead to an improvement of the process. The authors are all
experienced government hands and their observations reflect
numerous interviews with government.offi.cials. A researcher
considering any of the issues involved in how intelligence is
used in the national security process .could get 'a good basic
sense of the user side.-through a review of this volume.
Copeland, Niles. The Real Spy World. London: Weidenfe1d
and Nicolson, 1974.- 391 p.
A journalistic, anecdotal perspective and defense of espionage,
counterespionage, and covert action as conducted by the CIA.
The writer is a former Agency officer who was present at the
creation. Researchers working on case histories involving
specific episodes of Agency activities would wish to check
this volume for assistance.
Copeland, Miles. l''ithout Cloak or Dagger. New York: Simon
and Schuster, 1974. pp.
The book is interesting and readable, explaining the basics
of espionage operations, agent handling, and the operation of
a CIA field station.. Copeland writes about the Agency
in a favorable way, defending it against recent exposes.
For a I professional intelligence researcher, the'volume
would be useful as a storehouse of lore and anecdotes
on the espionage side'of the business.

Cottam, Richard t'l: Competitive Interference grid Twentieth
Century Diplomac . Pittsburgh : niversity.o pittsburgl
Press, 1967. 243-pp?
The author's main thesis is that American foreign policy lacks
adequate long-range planning and is outdated in terms of its
ability to conduct needed "interference": in the affairs=of
others in order to influence short and long-.term,outcomes.
The author's "interference" is. the CIA's "covert action," and
this book is a must for any researcher seeking to:explore the
theory and philosophy that could or should underpin covert
action. The author would give. CIA a policy-.making role in
order to better rationalize the conduct of covert action by
our government.''
Dallin, David J. Soviet Espionage. New Haven, Connecticut:

A leading authority on Soviet Russia discusses in detail the
Soviet espionage system, its evolution, its theory, and its,
operational code. The book contains certain "area studies"
of Soviet espionage, particularly.Europe and North America.
This is one of the most comprehensive and authoritative
studies of the subject.

This study is'unique as.,an attempt by a trained psychologist
to unravel 'the behavioral dynamics- of the individual ,that
underlie the process of foreign policy.. The.fi.rst` several
chapters study the way ind.ividual:s.perceive and react to
information they receive; later chapters discuss individual
motives in decision-making and the psychological factors
of group action in foreign policy., A researcher. studying
any intelligence process would find nourishment for his
research in this volume. It is a must for the study of
intelligence support for foreign policy.

A useful 'background volume on secrecy in intelligence.
operations. It-is a collection of papers read . before
a 1973 conference on secrecy in.government,. plus some
of the follow-on discussion of the?pape'rs. The authors
and participants cover the political, spectrum.. The.

This book describes the early intelligence services of the
Ancient Near East, Persia, Greece, Rome, Byzant'iurn, the Arab
?'uslim Empires, the Mongol, Empire, China,, and Muscovy. The
author points out that efficient and dependable intelligence
services were,a necessity for all the major.ernpires and
describes the .use of secret police, counterintelligence, fast
communications, road networks, postal systems, and other devices
which contributed to their success. -The book is easy to read
and would be of interest to the general reader. Although it
focuses on early times, it might' be'ma:rginally useful to a

Franck, Thomas PI., and Weisband, Edward, eds. Secrecy and
Foreign Policy. TIew York: Oxford University Press, 1974.
453 pp.
This volume is worth a scan, but not much more., by researchers
working. on a wide range of topics. As a compendium on the sub-
ject of secrecy in government, it illustrates that many authors
have done a little thinking about a variety of sub-elements of
the problem, but that a central, carefully?organized approach
is apparently still lacking. Those seeking some comparison
of U.S.. intelligence and that of foreign governments will
find help here in several articles, as will those studying
Congress and secrecy. A section on the public media and
secrecy in government mainly covers familiar ground. A
.final section on the..individual vs. the state on the matter
of secrecy is largely a series of personal vignettes by
aggrieved parties in the liberal spectrum such as Daniel
Bllsberg's lawyer.

Good, basic,: .,comprehensive works on.the processes of
collection and.production of foreign intelligence are
still rather rare. Even rarer are basic efforts to
define and describe the'intelligence process as it
should and does exist in other areas such as the cor-
porate and business world. This volume provides the
first comprehensive effort to lay out the intelligence
process in the field of law enforcement against crime.
It was produced by authors thoroughly familiar with the
Intelligence Community of the U.S. government and would
be of considerable use to. any researcher working in the
field of comparative intelligence. The authors attempt
to apply.many of the techniques of the'foreign intelligence
process to police work.

This volume would have a marginal interest for anyone working
in the field of intelligence theory. It is a wide ranging
analysis of intelligence as information and its-use in measur-
ing domestic social conditions in the U.S: in the 70's and 80's.
Although there is no direct application .to-the foreign intelli-

about the problems of organizing information for policy support
in a variety of diverse fields. Several.chapters contain
thoughts on possible methodologies for the collection of

This volume represents, one. of the as- yet few attempts

Glencoe, Illinois:- e Free Press-, 1956. .187 pp.;
A unique, valuable book that attempts to compare attitudes
toward intelligence among those. that produce it and those who
use. it. Its uniqueness comes.partly from its '?inside".quality,
since it is the narrative account of many interviews with
users and producers. The author also compares some academic
approaches to intelligence with reality in the business and
attempts to construct an ideal, rational doctrine of intelli-
ge,nce support to policy. For anyone with a professional
interest in.intelligence and a desire to be.well-read on the
subject, this now 20-year-old volume is a must. Huch of it

Makes a case for an oft-suggested solution to CIA clandestine
operations: separate covert from analytic CIA functions and
put the covert operators directly under the executive in
deep cover. One of the more ingenious efforts to develop
this approach. By a former CIA officer.

Some Thoughts on the Value, of a Study of
Compartmentation in the CIA
A prime objective of the Center is to keep as much of
its work as possible focused on issues at the core of pro-
fessional life in the CIA. We believe that a study of the
various impacts of compartmentation in the Agency would fall
within this area. We have in mind a study of compartmentation
that would range well beyond and indeed would be primarily
concerned with other than the necessary, usual security aspects
of the subject. If carefully defined, focused and researched,
we,believe a study of compartmentation could provide some use-
ful insights on a range of perennial issues in the Agency.
Depending on the exact focus of the study, we would Hope to
get some of the following:
--A better sense of whether our general lack of
personnel rotation between offices and compo-
nents in the Agency is really hurting us.
--A clearer understanding of how the continuing
trend toward greater professional specializa-
tion is affecting overall Agency performance.
--Some measure of how well the formal structures,
coordinating mechanisms, etc., we have set up to
overcome certain acknowledged impacts of compart-
mentation have functioned.

--Some additional insights into the question of
personnel effectiveness insofar as the presence
or lack of adequate communication between compo-
nents impacts on such effectiveness.
--A better sense of the extent to which the free
flow of ideas, so important to the early strength
and vitality of the Agency is continuing.
--A better idea as to whethex needed security
precautions which form the rationale for com-
partmentation in many instances are being
effectively served by present organizational
arrangements or are even being observed. '
--An understanding of how our compartmentation,
impact stacks up against similar phenomena in
other government agencies and possibly in pri-
vate business.
--A grasp as to how compartmentation impacts on
the "central" features of a central intelli-
gence system.
Obviously the research required to deal seriously with
each of the elements above would call for a study probably
too diffuse to be useful. We believe that a careful effort

at defining the problem could, however, result in the neces-
sary refinement of the approach and focus so as to concentrate
on a reasonable number of relevant and. rational objectives.
A main key to success in all the Center's projects is
selection of the proper people to do them. If,a project of
this type is to be thorough enough to be useful, it will almost
certainly take a team approach. No one individual could bring
to it the, experience and breadth to do the job in a reasonable
length of time (6-9 months). We will need three to four people
with one functioning as a team leader. The latter individual
will be most important. He must be fairly senior, so as to pro-
vide some credibility and entree in various Agency circles. He
must ,nave a wl.c (-. breadth of jor) experience so as to provic1 a
good understanding overall of the organi~a.tion and functioning
of the Agency. An officer from the DDA with a view of many
Agency elements from the support side might be the best bet.
There are a number of officers at the GS-14-15 level in
the DDA with interests that go well beyond their immediate job
horizons. At the present time, we have several more junior
officers from other components who could be recruited for the
,_. project to fill out the remainder of the team. There is no
one on the horizon, however, who looks like he could take on
the senior slot. Thus, the hurdle at this point to get this
project started is to find the senior man.:.
