Description: Strategic Warning Intelligence : History, Challenges, and Prospects, Paperback by Gentry, John A.; Gordon, Joseph S., ISBN 1626166552, ISBN-13 9781626166554, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The authors describe and evaluate strategic warning intelligence, the global spread of the warning function, and the nature and causes of the continued intellectual and institutional challenges of strategic warning, particularly in the US. They detail the history of the development of the function to alert senior leaders to the emergence of important threats and opportunities that require a policy decision, the capabilities of important warning analytic methods, why strategic warning analysis is difficult, special challenges warning has in dealing with senior decision makers, the state of warning in the world, why the US has largely abandoned strategic warning in recent years in favor of a focus on current intelligence, and warning-related structural and procedural improvements in the US intelligence community. They focus on the nature, performance, and challenges of the strategic warning function of national-level intelligence services, while including the strategic warning intelligence-like activities of nongovernmental organizations and businesses. They incorporate case studies, including postmortems of warning failures, and chapters address the definition of warning and the operational and institutional history of major intelligence warning entities; operational challenges, ways warning intelligence personnel have addressed them, and how warning processes are evolving; and the current state of strategic warning, its traditional national intelligence service roles, and reasons for the varying effectiveness of warning institutions globally, as well as prospects for strategic warning intelligence in the future and suggestions for institutional improvements to enhance the quality of warning intelligence support to national-level decision making in the US. Parts of two chapters have been previously published in different versions. Annotation ©2019 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
