The Art of Intelligence by Henry A Crumpton

"A lively account . . . combines the derring-do of old-fashioned spycraft with thoughtful meditations on the future of warfare and intelligence work. It deserves to be read." --The Washington Post

"Offer[s] an exceptionally deep glimpse into the CIA's counterterrorism operations in the last decade of the twentieth century." --Harper's

A legendary CIA spy and counterterrorism expert tells the spellbinding story of his high-risk, action-packed career


Revelatory and groundbreaking, The Art of Intelligence will change the way people view the CIA, domestic and foreign intelligence, and international terrorism. Henry A. "Hank" Crumpton, a twenty-four-year veteran of the CIA's Clandestine Service, offers a thrilling account that delivers profound lessons about what it means to serve as an honorable spy. From CIA recruiting missions in Africa to pioneering new programs like the UAV Predator, from running post-9/11 missions in Afghanistan to heading up all clandestine CIA operations in the United States, Crumpton chronicles his role--in the battlefield and in the Oval Office--in transforming the way America wages war and sheds light on issues of domestic espionage.

Crumpton Group LLC, a global business advising organization, is led by Henry A.Crumpton, its chairman and CEO. During a twenty-four-year career in the CIA's Clandestine Service, he became the United States' Ambassador to the United Nations. With the title of Ambassador at Large, he is the counter-terrorism coordinator. He resides in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region.
