Cia Intelligence Analyst - Views From the Inside

"This book demystifies the profession of intelligence analyst at the CIA and describes how the wide array of analytic specialties function in the intelligence community. The coeditors and contributors are former senior analysts. The chapters describe the key intelligence questions that analysts attack, their methods, their products, and their successes and failures. Just as important, the chapters describe the relationships analysts develop with those who collect raw intelligence as well as the diverse set of policymakers who use CIA analysis. No other book of this kind exists. Other published works have focused on generic "analysis" as though there is one approach with one set of practices. This volume distinguishes among analysts and their tradecraft used in disciplines ranging from political, economic, leadership, and military matters to science & technology, cyber, counterterrorism, and counterintelligence"--
