Publisher's Synopsis
Navy Commander Dave Muller's remarkable career in intelligence plunged him into most of the national security challenges of the past half-century, from the tactical level to the White House. In this unique memoir, Muller tells the details of his insider's experience of -
-Building and running the U.S. Navy's worldwide human-source intelligence collection network
-Tracking Soviet submarines, warships, and arms carriers in the Mediterranean
-Tracking the rapid expansion of China's naval operations in the Pacific
-Giving the Pacific Fleet commander minute-by-minute intelligence during the evacuations of Saigon and Phnom Penh
-Conducting under-cover naval intelligence operations in Central America
-Recruiting a highly placed agent in Iran's naval headquarters
-Dealing with convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, years before his arrest
-Teaching advanced terrorism intelligence techniques to military, law enforcement, and intelligence officers
-Producing the National Intelligence Estimate on the Y2K millennium bug
-Giving daily intelligence briefings to the country's first Drug Czar
-Giving close support to CIA director William Casey in his dealings with intelligence community leaders
Not only does Commander Muller share his intelligence -sea stories, - but he also gives astute insights into persistent intelligence community and naval intelligence issues; congressional interference in intelligence, both positive and negative; and how top-level intelligence policy gets communicated to intelligence practitioners.
