Book review: Intelligence in an insecure world

Today there exists a growing awareness of the importance of intelligence, and an increasing investment in it, as individuals, groups, organizations and states all seek timely and actionable information in order to increase their sense of security. But what happens to intelligence once it is produced, and what dilemmas does this generate? In a fully revised and expanded edition, Peter Gill and Mark Phythian aim to explore these ideas. Caroline Varin recommends the book to students and general readers seeking an introduction to intelligence agencies and intelligence gathering.
