Synopsis

WINNING THE MIND GAME OF ESPIONAGE
Official C.I.A. declassified material.New introduction and glossary.Over four hours of unique, fascinating listening: discover the arcane art of the counterintelligence interrogator.IMPORTANT: this manual was first released under the Freedom of Information Act in 1997, heavily redacted. It was released again in 2014, with a large amount of additional newly-declassified material. Unlike older versions available, which contain only the 1997 content, this edition effectively contains both versions: the newly-released 2014 material is read by a second narrator, so you can instantly tell the version from which the text originates. Get the full version!Extracting actionable intelligence from an uncooperative suspect is a subject fraught with difficulty. When the stakes are as high as those of anti-Soviet counterintelligence investigations of the Cold War, those difficulties multiply.
This unique, now-declassified manual makes an unflinching and in-depth examination of the techniques of the CIA interrogator tasked with tracking down and exposing moles, sleepers, double-agents and more. It equips the reader with the tools to "read", question, influence, manipulate and eventually break even the most recalcitrant subject - and the ability to recognize when these powerful techniques are used against you!

"Its treatment of the human dynamic between interrogator and interrogatee, and the fundamentals of the counterintelligence mindset, are evergreen and highly instructive. Far from being a historical document only, this is a profitable read for anyone who wishes to better-understand the strategy, tactics, and interplay of the battle for possession of knowledge played out between investigator and suspect.

Moreover, its frank treatment of 'coercive' techniques is a unique and salutary education in the ways of intelligence operatives and secret police around the world - in particular, those of countries ruled by repressive regimes whose representatives may not observe the 'profound moral objection[s]” the book describes." - From the Publisher's Introduction.

Goodreads review by Cristina on June 20, 2023

An interesting very dry read. I'm a little skeptical of the validity of the writing since it gives off self-published vibes, in addition to a few grammar mistakes. Unless that's what the CIA wants us to think. 🤔......more

Goodreads review by Efe on January 28, 2023

Since there is no review at all, let's talk a little bit about the report and the contents first. KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation report has been written in 1963 and declassified in 2014. It still has some sections removed but it doesn't add up more than a few pages and it really doesn't int......more
