Inside CIA's Private World: Declassified Articles from the Agencys Internal Journal, 1955-1992

This collection of recently declassified articles from CIA's in-house journal, Studies in Intelligence, encompasses methods of intelligence gathering, analysis of data, interaction between analysts and policy-makers and the craft of photo interpretation. Although aimed at specialists, some of the essays will be of interest to lay readers: a case study of how analysts and operatives worked as a backup team with U.S. negotiators at an international economic conference; an examination of the friction between CIA and the State Department and how it has hindered U.S. intelligence; a psychologist's discussion of defectors' common personality profiles (``Psychology of Treason''); a manual on how to resist counterintelligence interrogation; and ``The Case of Major X,'' which describes the author's experiences as a double agent. Westerfield is a political science professor at Yale. Illustrations not seen by PW. (Oct.)
