Synopsis The Business of Intelligence conjures up images of mysterious, perilous activity, shrouded in secrecy, deception and high politics. But only a few can lay claim to knowing its inner workings or dangers. Fewer yet are aware of the back-breaking monotony of sifting through masses of reports to unearth that one vital clue that makes the tapestry of an analysis invaluable to policy makers, diplomats, political leaders, scientists, the media and hundreds of other actors who may not even be remotely aware of being recipients of intelligence inputs. The author has bright out in a lucid style the various facets of the fast changing security environment and the role of intelligence in taking suitable measures to protect national interest.
