Methods of Inquiry for Intelligence Analysis cover

Few professions have experienced change to the same extent as has intelligence. Since the 9/11 attacks, the role of intelligence has continued to grow, and its mission remains complex. Government and private security agencies are recruiting intelligence analysts in ever higher numbers to process what has become a voluminous amount of raw information and data. Methods of Inquiry for Intelligence Analysis offers students the means of gaining the analytic skills essential to undertake intelligence work, and the understanding of how intelligence fits into the larger research framework. It covers not only the essentials of applied research, but also the function, structure, and operational methods specifically involved in intelligence work.

A text for academics, students, and practitioners who are interested in understanding the changes taking affect in the area of intelligence and in the role of analysts. -- Garth den Heyer, Arizona State University
Methods of Inquiry for Intelligence Analysis presents a strong discussion of the subject from a perspective grounded in the scientific method, while providing a comprehensive and well-organized overview of how various intelligence products are developed and disseminated. -- Mark Feulner, Florida State University
Having examples of the types of analysis makes the book extremely strong and useful in the classroom; students need to see concrete examples of theories in practice. -- Ken Stiles, Virginia Tech
