This revised edition of the classic guide Silent Warfare accounts for recent earth-shaking world events -- the breakup of the Soviet empire, for example -- and for the most recent laws and thinking on the new dimensions of intelligence. It remains the only intelligence primer. 
Shulsky and Schmitt, leading intelligence scholars and government experts, write clearly and for the nonexpert in this first comprehensive overview of the elements of intelligence designed for both the students and the general reader. A guide to the principles of collection, analysis, counterintelligence, and covert action and to their interrelationship with policymakers and democratic values, Silent Warfare provides a useful framework for understanding today's altered intelligence world as well as the future. It is an informative book for anyone intrigued by the shadowy world of the spy or concerned with security threats, terrorism, or economic espionage.

This is a first-hand account of successive stages in the Gulf Crisis. There is an explanation of the factors, some of which go back many years, which led to the rise of Saddam Hussein and the threat he presented to international security. The book discloses the complex, day-to-day interplay of diplomacy which took place between Saudi Arabia, Britain and other Western, Arab and Moslem partners, as well as with a Soviet Union in terminal decline. Insights are revealed into the lead given by the USA through her armed forces and in the Security Council, and the course of her relationship on the ground with her major Western associates, Britain and France. The backdrop for all this activity is painted with contemporary undercurrents of: Middle East politics; the Arab-Israel peace process; the shadow of Revolutionary Iran and the passions of Islamic revivalism. The crisis left its imprint on them all.
