In the post-9/11 era, federal homeland security professionals rely heavily on intelligence to perform their tasks in all mission areas—prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. Homeland Security Intelligence is the first single-authored, comprehensive treatment of intelligence. It is geared toward the full range of homeland security practitioners, which includes hundreds of thousands of state and local government and private sector practitioners who are still exploring how intelligence can act as a force multiplier in helping them achieve their goals. With a focus on counterterrorism and cyber-security, author James E. Steiner provides a thorough and in-depth picture of why intelligence is so crucial to homeland security missions, who provides intelligence support to which homeland security customer, and how intelligence products differ depending on the customer's specific needs and duties.

Industry Reviews

“Homeland Security Intelligence does a superb job of reviewing the organizations involved in counter-terrorism intelligence (CTI) in the fragmented US system. Steiner’s text is unique in this regard. I am not aware of a competing textbook with such comprehensive coverage. The area can quickly devolve into an alphabet soup that confuses and alienates students. Homeland Security Intelligence is the best I have seen at breaking down the various actors involved in counter-terrorism intelligence. The players from across levels of government, policy domain, and even organizational sector are woven together well within the textbook.”
