Intelligence Analysis Reviews

[Intelligence Analysis] provides a very comprehensive and well organized depiction of the intelligence function; it is well written, straightforward, and readable; and the tables, figures, graphs and maps are all appropriate and supportive of the reader's understanding of the text because they clearly depict data and processes. -- Vincent Henry
