Description
Intelligence Power in Peace and War explores the role of intelligence services within modern states. Drawing primarily from British and American examples, Michael Herman offers an analytical framework for understanding the "intelligence community" and assessing its value.
This book examines the various components of intelligence, discusses the purpose of intelligence gathering, and considers issues such as accuracy, evaluation, and efficiency. Herman also makes recommendations for the future of intelligence in the post-Cold War world.
