Total copies: 4
¿́¿This book of essays explores the enduring and changing characteristics of war, conflict and intelligence in our modern era in an attempt to enlarge our thinking about two of the most pressing security challenges of our day: counterinsurgency and strategic surprise. One key issue tackled by this book and of relevance to Singapore is: how do we assess the quality of our intelligence for anticipating future attacks, given the failure to predict the terrorist strikes of 9-11, or the questionable intelligence surrounding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? This rich collection will contribute to the understanding of modern war and intelligence.¿́¿ -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 4th Edition ¿́¿ STAGE IV: LTC 2 and above.
