Pear General Wieneckee:
Repro Representatives of the Agency who have visited the Armed Forcer,
Staff College have noted that the material assembled for the class
includes suggested readings on intelligence and the Central Intelligence
Agency. It occurred to us that it might be of some assistance if we
provided you with what we consider to be a bibliography listing a repre*
ssentativs selection of (reasonably accurate publications on these subjects.
Our Office of Training has prepared such a bibliography and it to
enclosed herewith.
We would also be happy to furnish the Armed Forces Staff College
with bibliographies in specialized fields such as counterinsuargenc;j,
guerrilla warfare, espionage, etc. The GIs. has screened all such publi-
cations in the yo4blic 4needia over the years and is in a position, we believe,
to provide a reasonably accurate analysis of the literature which can be
classified as valuable. Trusting this will be of some use to you.
Faithfully yours,

INTELLIGENCE THEORY AND ORGANIZATION:
a Selective Bibliography
1. Dulles, Allen W. The Craft of Intelligence. New York: Harper
and Row, 1963.
After a brief historical introduction, the former DCI
surveys, with many illustrations from actual cases, the
functions of an intelligence organization today. He
describes the intelligence process--requirements, the
collection of overt and covert information, and
intelligence production--and examines the Communist
services and the role of counterintelligence. Finally,
he comments on the place of an intelligence service in
the free world.

Magazine, April, 1963, pp. 127-174. A resume of the
book of the same title.
3- - - - - - - - -- "Intelligence Estimating and National
Security." Department of State Bulletin, 14 March 1960,
pp. 411-417.
After touching on the relation of intelligence, particu-
larly scientific intelligence, to national security and
on the functions of the USIB, the author describes in
some detail how Soviet capabilities and intentions are
assessed and how the resulting estimates are used.
fit.. Hilsman, Roger. Strata is Intelligence and National Decisions.
Glencoe, Ill.: The Free Press, 1956.
A study of the relation of intelligence and policy, with
emphasis on the theoretical. The author, writing under
a grant by the Center of International Studies, Princeton
University, expounds the thesis that intelligence is so
far removed from policy that it becomes an end in itself,
and he raises the question whether its effect on policy
is worth the effort put into collecting and processing it.

5. Kent, Sherman. Strategic Intelligence for American World
Policy. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press,
1951.
A pioneering study of strategic intelligence from the
point of view of (1) what it is (intelligence as
knowledge), (2) who produces it (organization in
intelligence), and (3) how it is obtained (intelligence
as a process or activity).
6. Orlov, Alexander. Handbook of Intelligence and Guerrilla
Warfare. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1963.
AnNKVD general who defected in 1938 describes Soviet
intelligence practices, particularly as they relate to
deep-cover agents, and underlines the collection of
documentary intelligence as a primary task. The chapter
on guerrilla warfare is out-of-date.
7. Platt, Brig. Gen. Washington (Ret.). Strategic Intelligence
Production. New York: Frederick A. Praeger, 1957, 1962.
Without exploring the more theoretical aspects of strategic
intelligence, the author examines its production on the
working level, applying the methods of the social sciences,
and describes certain useful tools and principles in this
field.
8. Ransom, Harry Howe. Central Intelligence and. National
Security. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press,
1978.
An analysis, based on unclassified sources, of the
development, organization, functions, and problems of
the agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community.
The author devotes considerable attention to the pro-
duction of National Intelligence Estimates and to the
relationship of intelligence to policy.
9. Zlotnick, Jack. National Intelligence. Washington, D.C.:
Industrial College of the Armed Forces, 1960, 19611.
A succinct description of (1) the organization,
interrelationships, and responsibilities of the agencies
making up the U.S. intelligence community, (2) the
intelligence process from the requirements stage to
dissemination, (3) the categories of national intelligence
(estimates, current reports, and basic studies), and
(4) the types of subject matter (political, military,
economic, etc.) which go to make up the body of national
intelligence.
