If you have to complete any kind of intelligence analysis, then these titles are necessary reading.
A re-print of Heur’s classic, Psychology of Intelligence Analysis. This is about the dangers of cognitive biases and how to avoid them. It also contains the best explanation of Analysis of Competing Hypotheses that I have ever read.
Clark’s Intelligence Analysis: A Target-Centric Approach. This is about target modeling, organizational analysis, as well as quantitative and predictive techniques.
Lowenthal’s Intelligence: From Secrets to Policy(3rd Edition). The third edition of Intelligence represents a major revision. I think the best features of the third edition are a more integrated, and comparative analysis of the of intelligence services in Britain, China, France, Israel, and Russia, and for just for me, the author included a new list of acronyms.
