Rezensionen

'Itai Shapira's study of Israeli intelligence culture is a major contribution to the field of Intelligence Studies, one that advances the subject in terms of conceptual approach and geographical focus. It is set to become an essential reference point for practitioners, academics, and students seeking to understand Israel's intelligence environment.'

Mark Phythian, University of Leicester, UK

'Itai Shapira's groundbreaking analysis of the strategic culture of Israel's intelligence community will be the go-to resource for scholars seeking to explain the intelligence failure of October 7^th. Shapira's exhaustive research provides stunning evidence of the impact of organizational culture in shaping intelligence and policy outcomes, and is a critical addition to the bookshelves of all national security professionals.'

Jeannie Johnson, Utah State University, USA

'Shapira's book provides a broad and systemic analysis, using the new conceptual framework of 'intelligence culture'...This book is especially important after the events of October 7th...as a foundation for a critical discussion in the intelligence community and all those engaging in security matters in Israel.'

Brigadier General (IDF, res.) Me'ir Finkel, Dado Center Journal, Israel
