Pressestimmen
"Johnson's book is easily the best introduction to the frequently misunderstood world of counterintelligence. This classic work, packed with timeless principles and highly readable, is a vital addition to the bookshelf of any intelligence professional."-David N. Edger, former CIA operations officer, visiting professor at the University of Oklahoma"Counterintelligence, without question, is the toughest job in the world of spying. And, historically, we haven't been as good at it as we should. That needs to change. One glaring shortcoming in recent years has been the lack of a good treatise on the 'art' of counterintelligence. Bill Johnson's book, which has been out of print for years, fills that gap. He gets it right. Only a respected CI pro like Bill could have described so clearly our arcane business of dangles, doubles, defectors, and deception. Thwarting Enemies will not only be a fascinating read for the general public but will also serve as a text for a whole new generation of CI trainees."-James M. Olson, former chief of CIA counterintelligence and author of Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying
Kurzbeschreibung
A Classic in Counter intelligence - Now Back in Print . Originally published in 1987, "Thwarting Enemies at Home and Abroad" is a unique primer that teaches the principles, strategy, and tradecraft of counter-intelligence (CI). CI is often misunderstood and narrowly equated with security and catching spies, which are only part of the picture. As William R. Johnson explains, CI is the art of actively protecting secrets but also aggressively thwarting, penetrating, and deceiving hostile intelligence organizations to neutralize or even manipulate their operations. Johnson, a career CIA intelligence officer, lucidly presents the nuts and bolts of the business of counter-intelligence and the characteristics that make a good CI officer. Although written during the late Cold War, this book continues to be useful for intelligence professionals, scholars, and students because the basic principles of CI are largely timeless. General readers will enjoy the lively narrative and detailed descriptions of tradecraft that reveal the real world of intelligence and espionage. A new foreword by former CIA officer and noted author William Hood provides a contemporary perspective on this valuable book and its author.

The best introduction to CI
25. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
People have mistaken ideas about what counterintelligence is all about. This book is the clearest, most direct write-up of the nuts and bolts of spy catching and protecting on-going operations that I have read. I fear that over the last few years many of our intelligence professionals have lost some of the skills described in this book and I urge both current and would-be future intelligence officers to read this text.
Yes, the book is a bit dated. The author was an "Angleton" (not a totally good thing) but he definitely knows how to explain a complex issue in terms anyone can understand. I will be using this book with my undergraduate and graduate intelligence classes.

Thwarting Enemies at Home and Abroad
25. Oktober 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I have written this for people who want to know what counterintelligence is, not what it ought to be, and for people who may be interested in it as a trade or profession.
The book is about what professional intelligence officers call "tradecraft", specifically the craft used in the trade of counterintelligence. It is not about politics or policy or communism or anticommunism or justice in the Third World or human rights or religion, although these affect the trade of counterintelligence just as they do the trade of stock-brokering or oil exploration or journalism. They will be mentioned occasionally, and my concerns about them will be evident, but only as they are elements of the enviroment in which counterintelligence functions.
My thirty-odd years working in counterintelligence have all been spent as an American official, but I have worked much of that time with the counterintelligence officers of other countries. I believe this book will be useful to readers not only in the United States but also in other countries allied with the U.S. and in some non-allied, non-hostile, where espionage and terrorism occur.
To illustrate various points I have cited many actual cases. Some of these have been written about publicly elsewhere, with varying degrees of accuracy, and some have not. Those which have not yet come to the attention of journalists, historians or writers of fictional documentaries I have altered (in counterintelligence jargon, "sanitized") by changing names, dates and places. I have done this to protect myself and to protect what American law calls "sources and methods" from hostile action. I have made some changes and deleted some material at the request of the American Central Intelligence Agency, which has reviewed the contents patiently, promptly and thoughtfullly. What I know about the spy business I learned as an official under oath to my government, and therefore what facts I know about the spy business are the government's property, not mine. The opinions are my own, and CIA neither endorses nor condemns them.

"Thwarting Enemies At Home And Abroad" will give you an inside look at how counterintelligence agents really do their jobs. You will learn how counterintelligence is different from security and different from law enforcement, and you will learn where these areas overlap.
