Intelligence Bibliography
Every day we receive inquiries from our students, clients, researchers and many others who ask about the literature of the intelligence field. "What would you recommend as a good book or two on such and such aspect of intelligence operations?" Our answer is a slightly annotated Intelligence Bibliography. By that, we mean that our annotation is little more than a set of evaluations and recommendations, based on a five star or less ranking. The texts themselves are drawn from our student/faculty library at our Training Center in Alexandria, VA as well as some of our faculty's personal libraries. It's updated fairly regularly as more literature is added to the field. Should you have any recommendations – and perhaps even some ratings of your own, we'd be pleased to hear from you. |
