The book aims to educate officials as well as students about the
vicissitudes that accompany the development and execution of the
government intelligence function. The authors demonstrate that
national, strategic intelligence in any country of the Hemisphere
can experience episodes of devolution as well as positive
evolution, at the same time that the culturally modulated practices
of government professionals can oscillate between periods of
repression and democratic observance.
This volume helps identify how to produce good or better
intelligence - intelligence that is of use to policymakers. The
authors have - across a range of areas of interest -identified some
of the practices that work best "to bring about" good intelligence.
The focus is on analysis rather than operations and includes pieces
from currently serving professionals in the armed forces, CIA, and
NSA. Editor Dr. Russell G. Swenson directed the Center for
Strategic Intelligence Research at the Joint Military Intelligence
College when this book was published by the Joint Military
Intelligence College.
This collection of papers highlights the convergence of academic
and applied factions in the pursuit of intelligence
professionalism.

This book examines ways in which intelligence develops its
characteristic standards of accuracy and duty. It considers the
effects of formal legal codes and democratic oversight, but a
principal conclusion emerging from it is the importance of
professional training. Its implicit sub-text is indeed that
standards of intelligence analysis and integrity should be properly
taught, and not just caught by osmosis from one's seniors. It also
examines intelligence professionalism in a laboratory almost
completely unknown to Anglo-Saxon readers, certainly to this one.
Intelligence institutions have evolved in the last decade in the
new, democratic Latin America at roughly the same pace as the
successor systems that developed at the same time in the former
Warsaw Pact countries of Eastern and Central Europe; and the two
sets of development are of comparable international significance.
Yet hardly anyone in Europe knows anything about Latin American
intelligence, and the same ignorance exists in considerable measure
in the United States. The gap is filled here by accounts of
intelligence structures and recent developments in seven of the
Latin American countries, along with 5 three conceptual articles
that relate these country-by-country accounts to the
semi-hemisphere as a whole..

The title chosen for this book carries two meanings. The more
straightforward interpretation of "Bringing Intelligence About, ''
and the principal one, refers to the book's coverage of
wide-ranging sources and methods employed to add value to national
security-related information-to create "intelligence.'' A second
meaning, not unrelated to the first, refers to the responsible
agility expected of U.S. intelligence professionals, to think and
act in such a way as to navigate information collection and
interpretation duties with a fix on society's shifting but
consensual interpretation of the U.S. Constitution
