Product Description

Review

'This title fills a gap in the national security intelligence literature and is therefore a welcome addition to the bookshelves of scholars and practioners.' - Hank Prunckun, Journal of the Australian Institute of Professional Intelligence Officers, Vol. 19, 2, December 2011

Product Description

This Reader in the field of intelligence studies focuses on policy, blending classic works on concepts and approaches with more recent essays dealing with current issues and the ongoing debate about the future of intelligence.

The subject of secret intelligence has never enjoyed a higher profile. The terrorist attacks of 9/11, Madrid and London, the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the missing WMD, public debates over prisoner interrogation, and new domestic security regulations have all contributed to make this a ‘hot’ subject over the past decade.

Aiming to be more comprehensive than existing books, and to achieve truly international coverage of the field, this book provides key readings and supporting material for students and course convenors. It is divided into four main sections, each of which includes full summaries of each article, further reading suggestions, and student questions:

  • The intelligence cycle

  • Intelligence, counter-terrorism and security

  • Ethics, accountability and control

  • Intelligence and the new warfare

Comprising essays by leading scholars in the field, Secret Intelligence will be essential reading both for students and for anyone wishing to understand the current relationship between intelligence and policy-making.

Great Overview 7 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
the editors have done a great job in collecting and presenting the current state of intelligence studies into one resource. It provides general information for the intelligence cycle and modern interpretations to how intelligence is gathered and utilised as well as possible improvements. It also delves into the highly normative, but equally important issue of ethics.

Overall I would recommend this reader to any student of intelligence studies.
