Böcker av Arthur S. Hulnick

How can the United States guard against a clever unknown enemy while still preserving the freedoms it holds dear? Hulnick explains the need to revamp U.S. intelligence operations from a system focused on a single Cold War enemy to one offering more flexibility in combating non-state actors (including terrorists, spies, and criminals) like those responsible for the attacks of September 11, 2001. Offering possible solutions not to be found in the federal commission's official report, Hulnick's groundbreaking work examines what is really necessary to make intelligence and homeland security more efficient and competent, both within the United States and abroad.

Despite past management problems, the author argues that America's intelligence system is reasonably well prepared to deal with the many threats to national security. He offers a range of ideas for making the system work better and for attracting new kinds of intelligence professionals.
