Description:
When intelligence officers defect, they take with them privileged information and often communicate it to the receiving state.
Brief description: Kevin P. Riehle is Associate Professor at the National Intelligence University. He has spent over 28 years in the U.S. government as a counterintelligence analyst studying foreign intelligence services.
Review Quotes: The Riehle book is a significant addition to the literature of intelligence. It is thoroughly researched, extremely well-written and organized, and heavily footnoted. Considering what I know about defectors through personal experience, research, and course work, Riehle has authored a book that is highly accurate in covering the subject. He is obviously very well-versed in his area of interest. It should be the standard for any future writings on the subject of defectors.--Calland Carnes "American Intelligence Journal"
