There's a book called "Intelligence: From Secrets to Policy" by Mark Lowenthal that is pretty good.

There are also periodicals- MIPB, Vanguard, AIJ.
If you REALLY want something to help you sleep, I'll forward you the draft copy of my thesis on EXINT ;)

Highly recommend the following:
On covert action: William J. Daugherty's "Executive Secrets" (University Press of Kentucky)
On intelligence versus terrorists: Devin Springer et.al. "Islamic Radicalism and Global Jihad" (Georgetown University Press)
On espionage, agent handling, and clandestine ops generally: James Olson's "Fair Play" (Potomac Books)
What makes these books the best: Each of the authors is a long time CIA officer with real experience in the field. Their books have zero crap.
If you need more to read, drop me a note, but I've used these books with military and civilian students extensively.

If you want to get an excellent introduction to signals intelligence, I would suggest James Bamford's "The Shadow Factory."
"Secret Sentry" is especially good on the history of the signals intelligence community. Bamford explains more about current techniques especially broad scale collection systems.Have you read Matthew Aid's "The Secret Sentry"? If so, how does it compare to Bamford's book?
