About The Book

American Presidents make decisions on war unaware that the human source intelligence provided by the CIA is often false or nonexistent. From Harry Truman during the Korean War to George Bush during the War on Terror, modern Presidents have faced their darkest moments as a result of poor intelligence. The CIA has assured Congress & the President that intelligence programs in hostile areas of the world are thriving, when they simply do not exist. The CIA is a broken, Soviet-style bureaucracy with its own agenda: to consume federal funds, to expand within the USA & to feign activity,

Ishmael Jones (b. 12/15/61) is a pseudonym used by a former CIA officer. He resigned from the CIA, becoming a proponent of American intelligence reform, with special emphasis on the improvement of human source intelligence collection. He’s a former deep cover case officer & author of The Human Factor: Inside the CIA’s Dysfunctional Intelligence Culture & many articles on intelligence reform.
