Major documents in the history of American intelligence interrogation are included in this unique book compilation, including two famous manuals, the CIA KUBARK manual from 1963 and the 1983 Human Resource Exploitation Training Manual with all of the handwritten notes and changes included. Additional valuable information on every aspect of interrogation and torture, including material from the al-Qaeda torture manual, is found in two great documents from the National Defense Intelligence College: Educing Information - Interrogation: Science and Art, and Interrogation - World War II, Vietnam, and Iraq.Contents: Book One - KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation * I.

The CIA's one-and-only official interrogation manual was published in 1963 and has recently been made available online; this softcover edition marks the Agency's redactions and includes the extensive descriptive bibliography of the original. This is not a facsimile but a typeset reference edition. KUBARK contains fascinating analysis on types of interrogatees (and interrogators) and a number of nonviolent (as well as violent) strategems. This is a work of historic importance and a fundamental source document for students of the Cold War.

Released by the Freedom of Information Act. This document is a thorough description of how the CIA recommends interrogating a subject. To get the information that is needed there is nothing withheld short of torture. For example in "Threats and Fears," the CIA authors note that "the threat of coercion usually weakens or destroys resistance more effectively than coercion itself. The threat to inflict pain, for example, can trigger fears more damaging than the immediate sensation of pain." Under the subheading "Pain," the guidelines discuss the theories behind various thresholds of pain, and recommend that a subject's "resistance is likelier to be sapped by pain which he seems to inflict upon himself" such rather than by direct torture. The report suggests forcing the detainee to stand at attention for long periods of time. A section on sensory deprivations suggests imprisoning detainees in rooms without sensory stimuli of any kind, "in a cell which has no light," for example.
