"Cases in Intelligence Analysis takes an innovative approach to intelligence analysis that helps the reader to develop a more thorough and disciplined analytic process. The authors contend that the use of compelling and historically accurate cases, coupled with an impressive toolkit of analytic techniques, can help us all to move beyond flawed analyses. I think they are right."
--Charles S. Robb, Co-Chairman of The Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction
"This work confronts head-on the problem of cognitive traps that history has shown to be the fundamental factor in most intelligence failures. After reviewing this presentation of methods and case examples, professional practitioners can sharpen their skills by testing the methods on their own problems--those they have experienced in the past and those they are confronting at present."
--Douglas MacEachin, Former CIA/Deputy Director of Intelligence
"Structured analytic techniques are increasingly being adopted by government intelligence analysts, but they are just as useful to the private sector. The value of this fascinating case study book is that it provides the growing array of users with practical advice on how best to apply the techniques to the challenges they deal with every day."
--Gordon S. Barrass, Former Chief of the Assessment Staff, Cabinet Office, London Visiting Professor, London School of Economics
