Silent Warfare is Abram Shulsky and Gary Schmitt's short, plain-language introduction to how intelligence agencies collect, analyze and use information. It explains sources and methods, covert action, counterintelligence and the problem of deception in clear terms rather than through case-study storytelling. It suits students, journalists and general readers who want a conceptual map of the field; readers wanting spy narratives or deep history should look to memoirs and histories instead. The 2002 paperback predates the post-9/11 intelligence reforms, so its examples stop before the 2004 restructuring of US agencies.
