Intelligence Reform

Hitz's The Great Game

Drawing on his career in the Central Intelligence Agency and other government agencies, Frederick P. Hitz spoke to Associates in February about The Deceptive Allure of Intelligence Reform.

Hitz entered the CIA as an operations officer in 1967, before serving in various capacities at the Departments of State, Defense, and Energy and finally returning to the CIA as legislative counsel to the Director of Central Intelligence and Deputy Chief of Operations for Europe; for his efforts he received medals for distinguished service both from the Department of Defense and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Hitz served as the first statutory inspector general for the CIA from 1990-1998, when he retired to begin a teaching career at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University.

The event was co-sponsored by Georgetown’s Center for Peace and Security Studies. A book-signing of Hitz’s The Great Game: The Myth and Reality of Espionage followed the event.
