Structured Analytic Techniques for Intelligence Analysis Third Edition

Best analyst resource I've experienced and wish they were available when I oversaw the FBI's Intel Analyst program. Easy to reference and understand when determining the best way analytical technique to use. I use the reference when teaching private sector Intel Analysts.

This is like stepping into a treasure tomb with timeless tools. For someone who is not from law enforcement agencies but from a business world - skill in structured analysis techniques are equally important as learning business intelligence systems; in fact it’s more important now in the post Covid-19 world.

Enough said.

I bought this book as a refresher and reference. However, once I received it I'm convinced that the pricing is a bit inflated relative to the quality. While the intent of making this a reference guide is good, it just doesn't feel like it will last long and at approximately $130 it should be more sturdy. I'm very disappointed.

Nothing to say about book's contents, its so perfect for anyone involved in intelligence sectors, suggesting high quality method regarding intelligence analysis using some specific cases. But, as attached, even if the book is offered as spiral bound, I was so disappointed at its outfit when I opened the box. It doesn't looks like new one, rather like someone used for decades and picked up from a very very old library's storage. Plz be careful and cautious on the outfit before books go out for its customers, it is not kinda book for kids.

eBook ends at Chapter 11. The final three chapters are missing. Makes it really hard to complete an course I am taking.

This is a quarter sized text book with tiny text, tabbed cardstock, and a spiral binding. $70 for this? What?

Spent almost $85 to get a new version and it is completely beat up and coming apart in places.
