Those charges and the United States' involvement in a war in Iraq have spawned additional charges of the politicization of intelligence. All this is being played out as the Intelligence Community has reformed and reconfigured itself with newly created departments supported by an expanded and inexperienced workforce that was never envisioned when the intelligence community was formally established in 1947.

The book focuses on how to do research, what qualities are needed to be an intelligence analyst, and what methods can be employed to help in producing products.

This was my first textbook in college for my intelligence courses. It's a good book. It's dry but remember it isn't supposed to be a novel. There were some concepts a bit to advanced for me. Once he gets into the math of it it became super slow reading for me. But it's very informative. This was my first textbook in college for my intelligence courses. It's a good book.
