Title: Straight from the Intelligence Community... to your bookshelf
Product review: This book is used by the National Air & Space Intelligence Center in their "Thinker's Toolkit" class. Since the majority of new intelligence analysts employed at the Center do not have lengthy intelligence backgrounds nor in-depth training, these classes are there to bolster their knowledge. This particular class, based on this text, was one of the most popular classes in the instruction series.My experience with the book was during my graduate studies - it was listed as a primary text along with Robert Clark's "Intelligence Analysis." The exercises within are pertinent and very easy to accomplish. As the back of the book states, learn analysis techniques with nothing more than a pencil and pad of paper.I'm glad that I read this book, as the exercises can be used in many everyday situations, like deciding what car to buy, or what stocks to pick... instead of relying on the (flawed) human emotional response.
