The 'Do's' and 'Don't's' of Analyzing Intelligence

摘要

Bruce E. Pease dissects the complex world of intelligence analysis and the people and processes associated with this critical component of the intelligence process. This is a must-read for intelligence insiders and outsiders. What makes Leading Intelligence Analysis highly relevant is that its reflections, interpretations, and lessons learned draw heavily on the author's extensive experience and expertise in the field over a 30-year career as an intelligence officer. As a manager he was able to mentor several "smart people" or "sense makers," as intelligence analysts are rightfully called. Indeed, Leading Intelligence Analysis is a remarkable assortment of personal anecdotes, insights, and examples, conveyed in the jargon of an intelligence analyst.
