Publisher's Synopsis
Analyzing the American intelligence network, senior research fellow at Hoover Institution Angelo Codevilla concludes that American intelligence efforts are desperately outdated in this "masterful exploration of the field" (Publishers Weekly).
Based on years of research and experience working within the American intelligence network, Angelo Codevilla argues that the intelligence efforts of the nation's government are outgrown and inconclusive.
Suggesting that the evolution of American intelligence since the Vietnam War and World War II has been erratic and unplanned, Codevilla presents new efforts to be made within the intelligence network that would lead to strategized and effective methods of information gathering.
Connecting the lines between a need for successful intelligence efforts and a strong government, Informing Statecraft warns of how intelligence failures of the past will eventually pale in comparison to the malaise that plagued American intelligence in the twentieth century.
