Critical Thinking for Strategic Intelligence

Critical Thinking for Strategic Intelligence

Responding to a growing need for a text offering a foundation for critical thinking, Katherine Hibbs Pherson and Randolph H. Pherson's easy-to-use handbook is based on the core principles of critical thinking in intelligence analysis. This indispensible text is framed around 20 key questions that all analysts must confront as they conduct research, evaluate sources, draft papers, and present analysis, including: How do I get started? Where is the information I need? What is my argument? How do I convey my message effectively?

Drawing on years of teaching experience, the authors have created a rich set of graphics that diagram and display the processes and techniques for arriving at the best possible analytic product, and original case studies are tied to end-of-chapter questions. As well, each chapter of Critical Thinking for Strategic Intelligence is organized the same way, making it easy for analysts to trace the key steps.
