Intelligence veteran Mark M. Lowenthal presents an academic introduction to the history and current role of intelligence agencies in the foreign policy of the United States. He surveys the growth of the intelligence agencies, examines their place in the general structure of government, reviews policy debates about the scope and nature of intelligence activities, and discusses intelligence reforms. With his friendly prose, he demystifies a complicated and complex process.
