Pforzheimer notes that this book consists of the papers (later updated and expanded) from a 1979 conference hosted by Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. The authors include a number of distinguished practitioners and "thinkers" in the field of intelligence. "The reputations of many of the authors ... makes this book an interesting contribution to the literature and worth reading."
