He details the qualifications that the various federal intelligence organizations are looking for in their recruits; he offers practical advice on how to go about fording employment in secret operations in such agencies as the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Secret Service, among others; and he describes what to expect from'these secret agencies-once a person is hired. ? - - 0 But Careers in Secret Operations is much more than just a "nuts- and bolts" summary. of job descriptions and application procedures. Phillips treats the ethics -and morality of secret operations and the dilemmas such activities raise for a free and open society. He, includes separate chapters on affirmative action programs and clandestine careers; opportunities for those without college degrees; federal retirement programs;-the special jargon of the intelligence agent; and a useful bibliography of further reading.

Hood, Author of Mole Walter Krivitsky's account of Soviet intelligence and espionage, which created ,a sensation when first published in 1939, tells many stories: it offers an "inside" look at Soviet espionage activities; it is - a personal indictment of Stalinist terror and a 'poignant (and self-accusatory) autobiography of one of Stalin's men; it-is a story told against the backdrop of the Great Purges, the Spanish Civil War, and Hitler's mounting aggression in Europe; it is the portrait of the birth of a new international order. William Hood's new preface places the work in its political and historical perspective as one of the indispensable books in the fields of intelligence, Soviet studies, and twentieth-century international politics. Reviews of the Gust edition (1939): - No matter where you stand on the question of Soviet politics, you are going. to want to read In Stalin's Secret Service. --The Nation pro One of the most valuable, most interesting, and at'-the same time one of the most frightening books of our epoch. mew Yorker Lo List Price: $24.00 (cloth).
