Industry Reviews

"Intelligence: The Secret World of Spies is useful because each section covers a specific topic, which the editors introduce clearly. It then presents articles by various authors who express different viewpoints on the given topic. This methodology helps students to learn both theory and practical aspects of the issues, and gives them a clear understanding of the differences in thought that experts have."--Anita J. Bucknam, The Ohio State University


"Intelligence: The Secret World of Spies is an admirable contribution to the intelligence canon. This reader clearly meets its goal of bringing together a set of diverse and useful articles across much of the intelligence process. It also serves as an excellent supplement to a main textbook."--Mark M. Lowenthal, Johns Hopkins University
