Bringing Intelligence About: Practitioners Reflect on Best Practices - Paperback

by Russell G. Swenson (Editor), Joint Military Intelligence College (Author)

The title chosen for this book carries two meanings. The more straightforward interpretation of "Bringing Intelligence About, '' and the principal one, refers to the book's coverage of wide-ranging sources and methods employed to add value to national security-related information-to create "intelligence.'' A second meaning, not unrelated to the first, refers to the responsible agility expected of U.S. intelligence professionals, to think and act in such a way as to navigate information collection and interpretation duties with a fix on society's shifting but consensual interpretation of the U.S. Constitution.
