The authors come fromvarying backgrounds, including academia, intelligence agencies, think tanks, Congress, the State Department, the National Security Council, the legal field, and from seven countries. Each author has different personal experiences andwrites fromhis or her own perspective. The books provide an excellent reference for students of the military, political affairs, foreign policy, or strategic planning. The supporting notes at the end of each chapter are especially helpful and should not be overlooked by the reader.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lex kidded me about putting this on my Christmas List but it looks to be a &#8220;must read&#8221; or at least a &#8220;must have reference&#8221; set for scholars of intelligence, IR,\u00a0diplomatic or military history. <strong><em>Very<\/em><\/strong> DIME oriented format.
