Description

Intelligence Intervention in the Politics of Democratic States : The United States, Israel, and Britain, Paperback by Bar-Joseph, Uri, ISBN 0271025751, ISBN-13 9780271025759, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book studies intelligence intervention in politics in the modern democratic state. In theory, intelligence work should be objective, autonomous, and free of political influence; at its best, it should be guided solely by the professional ethic of intelligence. In reality, however, unavoidable political pressures, as well as bureaucratic and personal interests, can and often do influence the conduct of intelligence work. In tracing and explaining the effects of these pressures and interests on the behavior of intelligence organizations and individuals, Uri Bar-Joseph analyzes four cases of intelligence intervention in politics: the 1961 Bay of Pigs episode; the 1954 Israeli "Unfortunate Business Affair"; the 1920 British "Henry Wilson Affair"; and the 1924 &;Zinoviev Letter Affair."
