The next president of the United States faces innumerable
complex problems, from a possible prolonged recession to
climate change. An immediate difficulty for the president
will be the global conflict between the West and Islamic
jihadists and state sponsors of terrorism. The creation of
the Department of Homeland Security and the recommendations
of the 9/11 Commission notwithstanding, the administration
needs to be armed and ready to tackle much more in the areas
of intelligence and counterterrorism. The president can and
must assume a hands-on, informed leadership role if the
United States wants to make progress in the war on terror.
Gary Berntsen has written this book as a guide for
an incoming president and White House staff so that they may
master current human intelligence and counterterrorism
operations. After reading its highly specific
recommendations and policy prescriptions, the president and
his or her staff will be able to draft a First Directive for
the leadership of the intelligence and national security
communities outlining how the administration wants those
communities to proceed and to defend the nation's interests.
Human Intelligence, Counterterrorism, and
National Leadership will be of interest to legislators,
policymakers, and anyone concerned about intelligence and
terrorism policy. With a foreword by Seth G. Jones, a
political scientist at the RAND Corporation and Adjunct
Professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown
University. He is the author of In the Graveyard of
Empires: America's War in Afghanistan and The Rise of
European Security Cooperation.
