because i have so much free time
Retooling material for my intel class and jumping between five books (two of which are out of print) and a raft of booklets, articles and sundry print sources; cyber buddy coincidentally mentions push on the inside to ratchet up analytic tradecraft, which reminds me …
… Non-fiction intel books - generally speaking - fall into two categories: the tell-almost and the high-level, policy-focused treatment. Clark’s books are something of an exception, but they’re not for novices. Jones’ book is great for fundamentals, but isn’t written for this audience. So …
a) anyone know a single book, readily available, that is suitable for intel analysis 101?
If a=false Then
b) what makes more sense: assemble and edit a compilation or craft something from scratch?
As a guy starting a new gig, relocating a family, a million other things on the plate the answer seems obvious, but compilations come with their own complications (copyright, etc.) and I’ll probably only get one shot at this before being overcome with the next next great if hairbrained idea.
Please to weigh in via comments.
