What are some books that explain how an intelligence agency like the CIA and Mossad works?

I can recommend Bob Baer’s books as being very good windows into the CIA operations world. Bob is a retired CIA operations officer of some renown, I never worked with him, we worked different parts of the world, but a good friend of mine did work very closely with him in South Asia, together they acquired a suite of Soviet armor technical manuals that the Pentagon said saved them $billions. Makes a CIA officer feel pretty good to hear that.

In the book, Baer offers an analysis of the Middle East through the lens of his experiences as a CIA operative. In 2004, he told a reporter of the British political weekly New Statesman , regarding the way the CIA deals with terrorism suspects, "If you want a serious interrogation, you send a prisoner to Jordan. If you want them to be tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear – never to see them again – you send them to Egypt." [11] [12] He retired to Silverton, Colorado .
