4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for Libraries Not Individuals, March 30, 2014
I know one of the editors, Ben de Jong, and am disappointed in the publisher for failing to properly present the book. Below I provide the table of contents that should have been provided by the publisher.

Without reading the book, I reduce it by one star because the Americans, all of whom I know very well, have failed for over twenty years to be serious about the need for radical reform. When they use words like “transformation” the words lose all meaning.
An alternative to this book (from the same publisher) is Routledge Companion to Intelligence Studies. I disclose that I have a chapter in that book, but the chapter is by agreement with the publisher free online at Phi Beta Iota the Public Intelligence Blog: “The Evolving Craft of Intelligence.” As an additional resource, my linked list of 319 Amazon reviews (with a number of guest reviews) < Worth a Look: Book Reviews on Government Secret Intelligence > is easily found online and was updated on 26 February 2014.
Best wishes to all,
