Description

A drastic reform of intelligence activities is long overdue. The Cold War has been over for ten years, and yet billions of dollars are still spent on covert action and espionage. National Insecurity brings together ten prominent experts to describe what went wrong with US intelligence and propose a radical rethinking of the country's intelligence needs in the post-Cold War world. Drawing on their experience in government administration, research, and the foreign service, these experts offer a coherent plan for reform that can protect US security while upholding democratic values. They examine the limitations of the current system, which has provided unreliable information, led to inflated military budgets, and supported corrupt regimes. This book provides valuable insights into the need for intelligence reform and its potential impact on national security. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary political issues, international relations, US history, public policy, foreign policy, intelligence reform, or political science.
