Smith, I.C. Inside -- A Top G-Man Exposes Spies, Lies, and Bureaucratic Bungling Inside the FBI. Nashville, TN: Nelson Current, 2004.
From advertisement: "Smith recounts his ... experiences with FBI and CIA directors, Supreme Court justices, Janet Reno, the spies Morris and Eva Childs, Cuban General Rafael del Pino, as well as Robert Hannsen and Kenneth Starr.... [T]his book gives behind-the-scenes details of FBI investigations.... And it confronts head-on the errors inside the FBI, pointing out management failures -- both at FBI headquarters as well as in the field offices -- that led to the attacks of 9/11."
Peake, Studies 49.3 (2005), says that the author "gives us a genuine inside look at the FBI and his own life. Both make absorbing reading.... [I]intelligence professionals will be ... interested in his insights into the familiar counterintelligence cases of the era." Smith also provides "very candid comments about the directors under whom he served." This is "is a valuable contribution to current intelligence issues and to the literature of the profession."

Constantinides notes that Smith served with the CIA from 1950 to 1973. This book looks at the CIA "from the perspective of the case officer" and "gives the reader the feel and smell of operations." Smith does not clarify his motives for publishing these memoirs, which leaves the reader unsure of the author's objectivity.

"The crucial lesson" to be drawn for SNIE 85-3-62 "is that simply being aware of our mental traps is not enough. To reduce the potential for analytic errors, some form of analytic structuring technique must be used to overcome cognitive traps." [Footnote omitted]

Clark comment: Smith's bibliography totals about 10,000 entries, referenced by category and author; there are no annotations.
Constantinides views this as "one of the most complete and useful references available to researchers and scholars." Nonetheless, it still misses "important books or books on significant individuals."
