Im looking for books on 'active measures' and subversion, basically the type of espionage that aims to affect the policies and functioning of other states or actors.
Now i know this is something of a hot topic since the 2016 election, and im very wary to filter out people who jumped on the "russia influences election" train to cash in on the panic. I'm looking for something thats more academic while still being somewhat accessible.

It seems like a better idea to study what the CIA and soviets have done in the past rather than whatever bullshit they're claiming today. I don't know where go to for that, though.

thanks senpai
Any books that in particular go into detail on how these intelligence organizations achieve this goal? As in, what methods and strategies they use to actually change the behaviour of foreign actors?

It's not a matter of trusting them, it's seeing their considered description and analysis of active measures and subversion activities by foreign powers as written up in intra-agency reports. Don't be such a prima donna.
