On Intelligence

Colonel John Hughes-Wilson has penned a military-intelligence insider's view of recent blunders from the so-called intelligence agencies that is as controversial as it is professional. Hughes-Wilson cites examples in of the US invasion of Iraq, how Hitler was misled by his staff, how information about Pearl Harbor was fumbled, and Egypt and Syria attacked Israel, and the lack of intelligence that led Britain to defend the Falklands. On Intelligence recounts both the historical events and then digs further into the reasons why crucial intelligence is so often ignored, misunderstood or spurned by those in power.
