While there are books that cover national security, intelligence collection, intelligence analysis, and various intelligence services, U.S. National Security and the Intelligence Services is the first, all-inclusive book to examine intelligence agencies as a direct function of national security. It serves as a comprehensive text for students and a resource for those in the intelligence profession and national security scholars.
The book offers an in-depth understanding of the important role that the intelligence services provide to the national security of a nation. It also includes information on the various types of intelligence, collection methods, tradecraft and intelligence analysis methods, as well intelligence-related resources. Coverage provides an overview of what national security is and its relationship to intelligence services of the United States, its key allies, and hostile nations.
Key Features:
- Identifies the various national security threats and details the numerous U.S. and key allied intelligence services that work and collaborate to mitigate such threats
- Reviews the types of intelligence—outlining intelligence collection methods and intelligence tradecraft
- Explores how to determine the value of the intelligence collected, explaining the various methods of intelligence analysis and optimal methods to present conclusions
The roles the various agencies in the intelligence services play are as vital as the intelligence collected, the means by which it’s collected, and the methodology in which it is disseminated and analyzed. U.S. National Security and the Intelligence Services provides a handy reference outlining the framework, and the processes, that comprise the US intelligence apparatus.
