TL;DRAbstract

The last two chapters discussed how intelligence influences the main world of action. This one deals with its effects on another, specialized area: governments’ own secrecy and information control. They want accurate information and good forecasts about other states; but they also want to control what these others are able to find out about them, so they erect information defences. Counterespionage and counterintelligence have already been noted in this defensive role. This chapter describes more fully how offensive intelligence is connected with defensive information protection.
