Intelligence and Military Operations

Herausgeber: Handel, Michael

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Traditionally the military community held the intelligence profession in low esteem, spying was seen as dirty work and information was all to often ignored if it conflicted with a commander's own view. Handel examines the ways in which this situation has improved and argues that co-operation between the intelligence adviser and the military decision maker is vital.
