C. "Economic Intelligence in CIA." Studies in Intelligence
28, no. 4 (Winter 1984): 1-22. In Inside CIA's Private World: Declassified
Articles from the Agency's Internal Journal, 1955-1992, ed. H. Bradford
Westerfield, 305-329. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1995.
This is an excellent -- it is tempting to say "classic" -- brief history of the development of economic intelligence in the CIA. It is interesting, although a minor part of the article, that writing in 1984 Ernst says the question of whether the CIA should provide assistance to private U.S. firms "has been a hot issue for more than a decade."

Erskine, Toni. "'As Rays of Light to the Human Soul?' Moral Agents and Intelligence Gathering." Intelligence and National Security 19, no. 2 (Summer 2004): 359-381.
The author "sets out a simple typology of 'realist,' 'consequentialist' and 'deontological' ethical approaches to intelligence collection and explores how different practices might be variously evaluated from each."

Ervin, Clark Kent. Open Target: Where America is Vulnerable to Attack. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2006.
Peake, Studies 50.4 (2006) and Intelligencer 15.2 (Fall/Winter 2006-2007), finds that the author, a former inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has produced a "frustrating, even frightening, but important book." Ervin surveys "every facet of homeland security" and concludes that "[w]hile some progress has been made, albeit wastefully, and it is harder for terrorists to attack now than it was five years ago,... it is still much easier than it should be."

Eshed,
Haggai. Tr., David Zinder and Leah Zinder. Reuven Shiloah -- The Man Behind the Mossad: Secret Diplomacy in the Creation of Israel. London: Frank Cass, 1997.
Clark comment: Shiloah was the founder and first head of Mossad (1951-1953), but he had already played a role in the establishment of Israel.
An advertisement says that this book "is based on documents from private archives ... and interviews with people who worked closely with Shiloah both in Israel and abroad."
Rathmell, I&NS 13.2, finds this biography to be "an important contribution to our understanding of the early days of Mossad and the Israeli intelligence apparatus." He warns, however, that one of the author's "main aims [is] to rehabilitate the reputation of Shiloah -- a man who made plenty of enemies."
