Receive free access to Hillsdale’s video series on U.S. intelligence—learn about the history of espionage in America and how we can repair the CIA today.


Espionage and intelligence are essential for a successful foreign policy. George Washington used spies during the American Revolution. 

The CIA—originally founded as the OSS—was created in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor to help protect America from foreign threats.

But today, the CIA is more interested in serving its own interests … rather than those of the American people. 

We are in the midst of a crisis—we need intelligence to protect us from potential attacks, but the CIA has a history of failure, partisan cover-ups, and weaponization against Americans.  

What is the solution to this crisis?

To answer this question, Hillsdale has created a FREE online video series—“U.S. Intelligence: History and Controversies.”

Filmed during a conference held on the College’s Michigan campus, this series of six videos will give you a deeper understanding of:

  • The Culper Ring and spying during the American Revolution
  • Wild Bill Donovan and the creation of the OSS 
  • CIA espionage during the Cold War 
  • The art of disguise used by the CIA
  • How the politicization of the CIA threatens our rights
  • What we can do to repair the CIA
