Reviews / Votes
I believe Johnson and Wirtz have done an excellent job highlighting why intelligence matters and how students can better assess for themselves the role of intelligence to prevent policy disasters and to enhance strategic warning for policy makers. This book is a great resource for students wanting to work in public service whether in policy or intelligence and related fields." - Kamal Beyoghlow, American University I can rely on Johnson & Wirtz to present issues in intelligence that are more in depth thanother texts. The anthology approach I think works exactly as it should. As I use Johnson& Wirtz, it compliments other texts by providing greater depth on subjects of interest. It is exceptionally useful in my course on Intelligence Operations where I use other texts as case studies and Johnson & Wirtz as the theory behind what the other text is describing. I believe it is best positioned to be that more expert text." -Kevin Frank, Campbell University
