The World Of Intelligence Explained by Daniel (Tucson, Arizona United States)  5 Stars
November 02, 2009
Authors Abram Shulsky and Gary Schmitt have written a excellent book on the world of intelligence. Areas covered---covert action,counterintelligence,double agents,propaganda and much more. You'll learn what official and nonofficial cover means,tradecraft,counterespionage and different ways our government collects intelligence. There may be other books on this subject, but for me it was a good place to start to learn about the world of intelligence. Easy to read and plenty of examples. Well done.

Great Introduction to Intelligence Gathering Process by Michael Mandaville (California, USA)  4 Stars
October 08, 2008
This book is an excellent introduction to Intelligence gathering. The three sources are human intelligence (HUMINT), technical means and Open Source (OS). I remembered reading where the Soviet Union shipped 5 tons (that's right - tons!) of openly available documentation, magazines, newspapers, trade magazines, journals, etc., to the KGB for analysis. The next question is what to do with all this information and form it into `Product'. Shulsky intended this book as an academic tome for an introduction into this arcane world. He does a good job, analyzing the process and using historical cases to enlighten the reader. Security Studies is a growing field due to increased unrest in the world, the rise of Radical Islam and the potential for conflict with globalization.

Very Accurate Depiction of the Intelligence Arena by C. Byford (Illinois) 5 Stars
August 14, 2008
After finishing this book I immediately lent it to a good friend of mine that was looking at getting into the intelligence community and he said the knowledge he gained from the book proved priceless when it came down to picking a career in an industry that can be very diverse and confusing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in how the intelligence process comes together, and I would insist on someone reading it if they were thinking about getting into it!
