From an on-line posting: "A detailed chronology and analysis of the intelligence failures and successes of the Cuban Missile Crisis is provided. Kenneth Michael Absher was a Fellow with the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, the Bush School of Government at Texas A&M University. He retired from the ClA as a member of the Senior Intelligence Service, having served over 31 years. He provided direct intelligence support to the U.S. handling of Cold War events such as the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, the 1983 military and rescue operation in Grenada (Operation URGENT FURY), and the break-up of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. From January 2003 to February 2005, Mr. Absher served on the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice appointed Mr. Absher as the DCI representative to three Accountability Review Boards to investigate terrorist attacks in Iraq. The above information was current when the work was published by SSI." Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Above the politics and ideological battles of Washington, D.C., is a committee that meets behind locked doors and leaves its paper trail in classified files. The President's Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB) is one of the most secretive and potentially influential segments of the U.S. intelligence community. Established in 1956, the PIAB advises the president about intelligence collection, analysis, and estimates, and about the legality of foreign intelligence activities.Privileged and Confidential: The Secret History of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board is the first and only study of the PIAB. Foreign policy veterans Kenneth Michael Absher, Michael C. Desch, and Roman Popadiuk trace the board's history from Eisenhower through Obama and evaluate its effectiveness under each president. Created to be an independent panel of nonpartisan experts, the PIAB has become increasingly susceptible to politics in recent years and has lost some of its influence. Absher, Desch, and Popadiuk, however, clearly demonstrate the board's potential to offer a unique and valuable perspective on intelligence issues. Privileged and Confidential not only illuminates a little-known element of U.S. intelligence operations but also offers suggestions for enhancing a critical executive function.
