Surviving Cyber War
Richard Stiennon
Military and intelligence leaders agree that the next major war is not likely to be fought on the battleground but in cyber space. Recent cyber attacks on United States government departments and the Pentagon corroborate this claim. Every day, thousands of attempts are made to hack into America’s critical infrastructure.These attacks, if successful, could have devastating consequences. In Surviving Cyber War, author Richard Stiennon examines the cyber threats and where they come from and explains how defensive technologies can be used to counter cyber attacks and to secure American infrastructure. This book examines the major recent cyber attacks that have taken place around the world, discusses the implications of such attacks, and offers solutions to the vulnerabilities that made these attacks possible. Richard Stiennon is the founder of IT-Harvest.

Ethics of Spying
A READER FOR THE INTELLIGENCE PROFESSIONAL, VOLUME 2
Edited by Jan Goldman
Volume 2 of Ethics of Spying begins with an historical perspective of the expectations of moral and ethical conduct of personnel working in intelligence. In a previously classified memo from 1941 and a report from 1954, the reader gets a sense of both the history and perception of what was expected of professional conduct as viewed from government officials.The first half of this book seeks to define an intelligence professional, while the second half of the book seeks to utilize various theoretical and practical perspectives. Prominent scholars from all over the world explore ethics through the intelligence cycle and how ethics is evolving and viewed in a post-9/11 world.The book concludes with a survey on ethical conduct by interrogators, a brief history of intelligence reform, and a bibliography on this subject. Jan Goldman is editor of Ethics of Spying: A Reader for the Intelligence Professional (Scarecrow, 2005) and series editor for Scarecrow Professional Intelligence Education Series.

Handbook of Warning Intelligence
ASSESSING THE THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY
Cynthia Grabo
Written during the cold war, the majority of this manual is now finally available to the general public after being classified for 40 years. It discusses military analysis, as well as the difficulties in understanding political, civil, and economic analysis and assessing what it means for analysts to have “warning judgment.” This book was written in response to the “surprise attack” of the Soviet Union’s invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. According to the author, that event was no surprise. And while analysts have to take some of the blame for their failure to strenuously present their case that the threat was real and imminent, what occurred was a failure by policymakers to listen to the warning intelligence reports that were written at the time. Cynthia Grabo was an intelligence analyst from 1942 to 1979 and the first woman senior intelligence analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency.
