Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
For nearly 50 years, facing a static enemy, American intelligence analysis was based on a hierarchical decisionmaking process that oftentimes insulated analysts from criticism and interaction with the ultimate consumers of their product. In countering asymmetric threats and nonstate adversaries, the model is simply outmoded. A flatter, horizontal, networked solution has proven much more effective in today's world.In his second edition, Robert Clarkformer CIA analyst and executive in the Intelligence Directorateexplains how a collaborative, targetcentric process both attends to the needs of the customer and promotes more effective collection. Based on feedback from users, early chapters introduce the concept of model synthesis more gradually. Recent intelligence eventswith the Iraqi WMD Commission Report at center stageillustrate the importance of targetcentric analysis. This revision also includes broader treatment of collection strategies, systems analysis, and analystcustomer interaction as well as more attention to denial and deception, and to both counterterrorism and counterintelligence analysis.This new edition contains updates of the practical information and daytoday details from the previous book told as only an experienced intelligence hand could. Extensive descriptions of the art of target modeling and organizational analysis, as well as thoroughly detailed overviews of the quantitative and predictive techniques used in intelligence analysis make this book an essential tool for illuminating an often shadowy world.
