Notes
About the Author
Dr. Hershkovitz has produced one of the best ‘future of intelligence’ books that I have read. He insightfully assesses the current state of national intelligence and offers achievable prescriptions for moving forward. Hershkovitz’s book comes at an important time because, as he notes, intelligence is at a historical crossroads. The decisions made by intelligence leaders today will have consequences for decades, and this book should be their guide.

As technology continues to advance, government officials and scholars around the world are struggling to understand and evaluate national intelligence. Dr. Hershkovitz’s book provides us with a sophisticated way of understanding how technology impacts intelligence, thus enabling strategists to design the transformation of intelligence systems in a way that harnesses technology effectively. Hershkovitz makes a significant contribution to our understanding on what is perhaps the most important challenge facing many national intelligence systems: how to ensure that governments use technology effectively to develop the knowledge needed to make the best decisions.

This pioneering book comes at the right moment. We live in the Age of Information, dominated by computer technologies. Hershkovitz offers a clear and insightful analysis of the impact of these new technologies on national intelligence. A must read for current analysts.

Hershkovitz is an experienced intelligence expert who deeply understands the implications of new technologies on national intelligence. In his illuminating book, he proposes important principles as a compass to navigate in the intelligence world to meet the challenges.
