Books by Roy Godson

Contrary to popular misconceptions and public branding as "dirty tricks," covert action and counterintelligence can have considerable value

Traces the evolution of covert action and counterintelligence through US history from the end of World War II: the successes and failures; the products and the processes; and the organizations. The book is an examination of the gap between current US practice and ideal capabilities and performance.

One of the more dangerous contemporary threats to the quality of life is the collaboration of the political establishment with the criminal underworld - the political-criminal nexus (PCN). This work aims to develop a framework for making generalizations about this contemporary scourge.
