Failure of Intelligence: The Decline and Fall of the CIA, by Senior Fellow Mel Goodman, March 2008.
After former CIA director George Tenet's book, many people are questioning their conventional wisdom about the CIA. The truth is, it is now time for serious intelligence reform. Failure of Intelligence examines the CIA's recent failures and distorting of information for political means, and suggests an effective reform agenda. The author's reform ideas are informed by his extensive experience in the CIA as well as input from former CIA directors.

Bush
League Diplomacy: How the Neoconservatives are Putting the
World at Risk, by Senior Fellows Mel Goodman and Craig
Eisendrath, May 2004.
How have George W. Bush and the neoconservatives in his
administration managed to erode a half century of foreign
relations in such a short period of time? What impact will
the increased use of military force in place of diplomacy,
and the ever-increasing deficit spending this creates, have
on social policies at home? Veteran foreign policy analysts
Craig Eisendrath and Mel Goodman answer these questions
and many more.

Korean
Endgame: A Strategy for Reunification and U.S. Disengagement,
by Senior Fellow Selig S. Harrison, 2002.
Based on meetings with both Kim Il Sung and his son, Kim
Jong Il, Harrison presents explanations of Pyongyang's actions
that are more sympathetic and intelligent than the official
pronouncements of the North Korean government. He sees reunification
as a realistic goal through a confederation of North and
South, with all surrounding powers pledging the neutralization
and denuclearization of the peninsula. He argues that the
United States should withdraw its forces from South Korea
over a ten-year period and seek to be an honest broker between
North and South. With the end of the Cold War, North Korea
lost the security backing of both Russia and China, and
thus, in Harrison's view, it feels vulnerable to American
attack, justifying the restart of its uranium-enrichment
program.

National
Insecurity: U.S. Intelligence After the Cold War, Senior
Fellow Craig Eisendrath, editor, January 2000.
Drawing on their experience in government administration,
research and Foreign Service, ten prominent experts propose
a fundamental rethinking of the United States' intelligence
needs in the post-Cold War world. In addition, they offer
a coherent and unified plan for reform that can simultaneously
protect U.S. security and uphold the values of our democratic
system. Read the book review
by James M. Wall

Just
the Facts: A Civilian's Guide to U.S. Defense and Security
Assistance to Latin America and the Caribbean by Adam
Isacson and Joy Olson, December 1999.
An essential resource for understanding the United States'
complex military relationship with Latin America and the
Caribbean. This book details dozens of programs and activities
that the U.S. government carries out with the Western Hemisphere's
security forces, such as arms transfers, training programs,
exercises, deployments, counternarcotics operations and
military bases.

Altered
States: Security and Demilitarization in Central America,
by Adam Isacson, 1997.
Exhaustively surveys current sizes and roles of militaries
in Central America, the range of threats to the region's
security, the extent of current U.S. military assistance
and linkages. Isacson argues that the region's militaries
are irrevalent to today's security needs. He then lays out
what must be done so that Central America can reduce the
size of armies and eventually phase them out entirely.
