Paperback. Condition: Good. As a result of two recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. Defense Department has given considerable attention to the issues of intelligence support to military operations. Much less effort has been spent on intelligence support to national security strategy write large and, specifically, support to overarching foreign and defense policy. This anthology, written in cooperation with the Center for Peace and Security Studies, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, seeks to restore some balance to this debate. The central purpose of the book is to illuminate ways in which U.S. intelligence capabilities can be significantly improved by adjusting policies and practices rather than institutions and structures. Contributors have all had long experience within the intelligence community--all are insiders who have lived with U.S. policies and have experienced both successes and failures with Democratic and Republican administrations. The editors conclude that the U.S. intelligence community must focus on several ways to better its performance in order to adapt to 21st century security challenges: 1) foster agility and mobility, including decentralized and empowered decision-making; 2) improve leadership, and coordinate inherently diverse cultures of disparate U.S. intelligence agencies; 3) strengthen open source intelligence and delegate command.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 'An ingenious book' -Stuart Kelly, Scotland on SundayOnce there was a street in Paris and it was called the Street of Tailors. This was years back, in the blue mists of memory. Now it's the 1950s and Henri is the last tailor on the street. With meticulous precision he takes the measurements of men and notes them down in his leather-bound ledger. He draws on the cloth with a blue chalk, cuts the pieces and sews them together. When the suit is done, Henri adds a finishing touch: a blue Tekhelet thread hidden in the trousers somewhere, for luck.One day, the renowned French artist Yves Klein walks into the shop, and orders a suit. Set in Paris, this atmospheric tale delicately intertwines three connected narratives and timelines, interspersed with observations of the colour blue. It is a meditation on truth and lies, memory and time and thought. It is a leap of the imagination, a leap into the void.…
