The life of a counterintelligence (CI) operative has been immortalized in film and novels as being filled with glamour and excitement. While international travel; heroism; and danger are all part of the job description; the fundamentals of counterintelligence are discipline; skill; and—well—intelligence. CI operations include conducting investigations; offensive and defensive operations; security and vulnerability analyses; and intelligence collection in peace and at all levels of conflict to support command needs. This guide serves to inform commanders; agents; and analysts on how to identify; neutralize; and exploit any foreign attempts to conduct operations against the U.S. Army. Find out how CI operatives combat terrorism; create battlefield deception; and inform all echelons of combat of both real and potential threats from the U.S. Army's own guide to counterintelligence. The tactics; techniques; and procedures (TTP) outlined are the same instructions that CI personnel follow in the field. As the world becomes more interconnected and as technological advances continue to be made; proper CI techniques are exceedingly critical to the protection of the U.S. Army. Counterintelligence is not just the subject for an entertaining story; it is how peacekeeping; humanitarian; and counter-drug operations are carried out in this globalized world.

Thank You Brian Fleming for bringing out the truth.By Kindle CustomerI purchased this eBook after it was listed for a very low cost with the intention of “getting around to reading it laterâ€. Luckily; it did not collect that much cyber dust. Once I started reading; I could not put it down and was finished in less than 24 hours. It is not a quick book; and at some points; I had to go back and re-read some of the paragraphs because I wanted to fully comprehend what was laid out before me. It was the book I had subconsciously searched for in answer to the rumors of what members of the Vatican did to help save lives of those threatened by the reach of the Third Reich.Before the story is told; the author introduces you to the “Cast of Charactersâ€; which helps tremendously. Unlike many other non-fiction books; there was not one time that I found this book to be dry or boring. It is almost like reading a gripping news article that continues on for over 225 pages. At the end of each chapter; foot notes and bibliographies are added for further reference.I would highly recommend this book for all ages. If you are old enough to study World War II; you are old enough to read this book. As a Catholic; history buff; and a rather prolific reader; I am grateful to Brian Fleming for bringing this history to life for me. More people should know about the efforts of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. True history should not take so long to write about.......By donzicVery hard to believe especially after all the stories about the Pope helping the really bad Nazis escape to South America. History is very important but how can we be certain that a story written 50 or more years after the event is true? This is a definite five star read and it may help the Catholics who are now wondering about their priests who are charged with the various crimes against young children. It was wonderful read for m and I'm reading it again. I often times read a very good story a second time.....I think we need better documentation of the bad things that happened over the past 10 years. Why wait until they are history. For example; the murder of the black young man in Ferguson MO. The news papers told one story but in the trial of the police officer there was a different story. .And the raising of the hands turned out to fake news. So who do we believe. ???????55 of 56 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful storyBy River Bend FarmerThis is a wonderful story. There are several versions of this story; and this one gave some details not mentioned by other writers. As a avid reader of WW II history; it filled in a few blanks in my knowledge base and was interestingly written. If you like this book; I suggest you also read The Scarlett Pimpernel; which is from another point of view; and also a wonderful read. The thing all books agree on is the Monsignor's complete dedication and willingness to place himself in danger repeatedly; sometimes beyond all reason; to save pretty much anyone from the Gestapo. He was a true Christian and an exemplary man. How I wish I could have met him!
