- Aimed at students, faculty, and practitioners, the book is designed to provide all necessary information on how to prepare, write, and read intelligence publications. This book outlines the foundations of good intelligence communication, a toolkit for writing these documents, the briefing process, and a guide to citations and classified materials.
