"This valuable book, written from five distinct national perspectives, is a landmark contribution. Its original and experienced thinking is essential reading for people concerned about re-inventing democratic intelligence for today's asymmetrical challenges." - Anthony Campbell, Former Head of Intelligence Analysis in the Canadian Privy Council (Cabinet) Office"What are intelligence's special characteristics? What are the intellectual foundations for what it does? Here is a heavyweight attempt to develop answers to these key questions, for all concerned with intelligence everywhere." - Michael Herman, Founder Director, Oxford Intelligence Group"An outstanding collection that brings together many of the most talented scholars working on intelligence and security issues today in a wide-ranging survey of the state of the field. The wide range of approaches and the variety of topics covered ensure that this volume will be indispensable for both teaching and research for years to come." - Peter Jackson, Aberystwyth University, UK"This is a timely book, rich with insight and containing a range of proposals for improving US intelligence performance. Many of these insights apply to intelligence as a process and a profession and, as such, are transferable."Political Science Quarterly, Mark Phythian, University of Leicester
