Counterintelligence at Its Core: Assessing and Preventing Foreign Espionage is a book by Kevin P. Riehle, scheduled for release in May 2025. The work positions counterintelligence (CI) analysis as a unified strategic function essential for achieving “decision advantage” over adversaries. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Core Themes and Content
Riehle argues that CI analysis is not just about catching spies but is the “core” of the discipline. Key elements include: [5, 6]The Intelligence Cycle: The book explains how to exploit, disrupt, or manipulate an adversary’s intelligence cycle to gain a strategic edge.
Strategic Decision Denial: It provides a blueprint for “frosting the adversary’s window,” ensuring their strategic vision of your own operations remains distorted.
Analytical Frameworks: Riehle outlines four specific types of analysis and their roles in threat assessment, cyber operations, and strategic planning.
Historical and Modern Case Studies: The text applies CI principles to the early Cold War, the Soviet Union, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. [1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10]Book Structure
The book is organized into three primary parts: [4, 9, 11]Defining and Approaching CI: Establishes definitions and identifies four types of CI analysis.
Strategic Application: Examines CI’s role in anticipating conflict and analyzes specific case studies (Soviet Union, Russia, and Ukraine).
Challenges and Priorities: Concludes with future priorities for the CI community. [1, 4, 10, 11]About the Author
Dr. Kevin P. Riehle is a scholar and former practitioner with over 30 years of experience in the U.S. intelligence community. [12, 13]Professional Background: He served as a counterintelligence analyst and a Navy Reserve intelligence officer, finishing his government career as a professor at the National Intelligence University.
Academic Role: He is currently a lecturer at the Brunel Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies (BCISS) in London.
