Best in class textbook for intelligence

I continue to regard this book as one of the best available textbooks for inspiring informed student and entry-level employee discussion about the intelligence professional and its role in supporting policy-making. The author's conclusion, and the "eleven points" he makes regarding the current status and future of intelligence, continue to be an essential contribution to the great debate.
