Inhaltsangabe

Guarding the Republic argues that America is not merely a set of borders or institutions, but a philosophical proposition first articulated by the nation's founders and worth defending in exactly those terms. Dr. Shane McNeil, who served as a counterintelligence officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency and as a counterintelligence policy advisor on the Joint Staff before leaving government service, writes now as an independent scholar of statecraft and national security. The judgments in this book are his own, offered in his academic and personal capacity rather than as any official U.S. government position.

Dr. McNeil's central claim is that the Chinese Communist Party represents the most comprehensive strategic threat that founding idea has faced, and that counterintelligence, properly reconceived, stands as one of the nation's primary institutional defenses of it. Drawing on his doctoral research in statecraft and national security, Dr. McNeil traces American counterintelligence from its Revolutionary War origins through its Cold War apex and post-Cold War fragmentation, then builds the case for CIPHER, a proposed national CI architecture equal to a threat that spans espionage, influence operations, and strategic competition across every instrument of national power. Part history, part doctrine, part reform agenda, this book is written for the practitioners, policymakers, and citizens who will decide whether the republic's defenses match the idea they exist to protect.
