Abstract

The use of intelligence - flippantly described as the "second oldest profession" - to shape diplomacy and warfare is timeless. Sims sets out the means to measure intelligence's influence, yet the book's case-studies highlight instances where other factors negate the potential intelligence advantage. Sims has produced a thought-provoking book that seeks to bridge intelligence theory and history. [Extracted from the article]
