What motivates someone to risk his or her life in the shadowy, often dangerous world of espionage? What are the needs and opportunities for espionage amid the War on Terrorism, and how can the U.S. recruit spies to inform the struggle against Islamists' acts of anti-Western jihad? Frederick Hitz, a former inspector general of the Central Intelligence Agency and author of The Great Game, guides the reader through the Byzantine structure of the U.S. intelligence community (which agency handles what?), traces the careers and pitfalls of such traitors (or suspects) as Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames, and explains how the National Intelligence Agency must meet the challenges set forth in the intelligence reform bill of 2004.
