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.
