Understanding the Globalization of Intelligence

In this concise introduction to the complexities of contemporary western intelligence and its dynamics during an era of globalization, Adam Svendsen discusses intelligence cooperation in the early 21st century, with a sharp focus on counter-terrorism and WMD counter-proliferation during the 'War on Terror.'

"Svendsen has presented readers with a provocative and challenging work that takes time to

digest. There is much to be gained from taking that time."
