Critics Review
An impressive study that illustrates the broad range–but also the limits–of the field of intelligence studies today. Should be read not only by students of intelligence, but also by scholars in other disciplines who are interested in studying intelligence issues, and by intelligence practitioners and policy makers who want to engage with and take advantage of the research done in the growing field of intelligence studies.
–Erik Dahl, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey CAThis is the first single volume exploration of intelligence studies methods. Inter-disciplinary and bringing together both scholars and practitioners, it is an important contribution and will have a major impact.
–Richard Aldrich, Leverhulme Major Research Fellow, Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of WarwickThis outstanding set of essays is an important contribution to the discipline of Intelligence Studies. Well written, insightful, and multidisciplinary, the essays combine into an indispensable assessment of scholarly research on the workings of secret spy agencies in the democratic societies.
