National intelligence cultures are shaped by their country's
history and environment. Featuring 32 countries (such as Albania,
Belgium, Croatia, Norway, Latvia, Montenegro), the work provides
insight into a number of rarely discussed national intelligence
agencies to allow for comparative study, offering hard to find
information into one volume. In their chapters, the contributors,
who are all experts from the countries discussed, address the
intelligence community rather than focus on a single agency. They
examine the environment in which an organization operates, its
actors, and cultural and ideological climate, to cover both the
external and internal factors that influence a nation's
intelligence community. The result is an exhaustive, unique survey
of European intelligence communities rarely discussed.

In the summer of 2013 the Central Intelligence Agency and the
Clinton Presidential Library made an unprecedented declassification
of more than 300 documents showing the role of intelligence in
supporting American decision-making on Bosnia in the 1990s, and in
particular the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, which brought an end to
the fighting in Bosnia. The following spring, James Madison
University hosted a conference in which scholars from all over the
world assessed what the documents show about what is needed for the
complex process of making peace. Aspects covered included military,
political, diplomatic, and religious, among others. Timothy R.
Walton's The Role of Intelligence in Ending the War in Bosnia in
1995 offers a collection of papers presented at the conference;
several of the authors were participants in the events of the time.
