I've read OF Dulles, but this one escaped me. thanks for the share. For more of the nuts and bolts of modern operations, I suggest 'Intelligence: From Secrets to Policy' by Mark Lowenthal. http://www.amazon.com/Intelligence-Secrets-Policy-Mark-Lowenthal/dp/1608716759 http://www.amazon.com/Intelligence-Secrets-Policy-Mark-Lowen... I also appreciate the foundations and history, but this is a great introduction to the tasking, training, mindset, and goals of modern intelligence operations. He's updated for post-9/11 and post DHS splintering of the IC as well.
