This book examines the roots and elements of the research and knowledge-generation problems in US intelligence.

The work identifies the crux of the problem as the lack of a research capability in US intelligence, which has developed over the past 40 years due to a variety of organizational decisions that prioritized current intelligence reporting and a focus on structural solutions to fix intelligence failures. The book argues that this is the principal cause of recent major intelligence failures regarding 9/11, the 2003 Iraq War, and the current Russia-Ukraine War. Throughout the book, the authors aim to provide short-, medium-, and long-term, policy-relevant recommendations to intelligence officials and members of the US Congress, in the form of workforce, leadership, and organizational changes that can be implemented to address existing research shortcomings in intelligence analysis. The book's conclusions will also be relevant to the intelligence agencies of other countries.

This book will be of much interest to students of intelligence studies, national security, US politics, defense studies, and international relations.

Carl W. Ford, Jr. is a 40-year veteran of US intelligence and policy work. He began his intelligence career as a HUMINT case officer in Vietnam and worked as an analyst following the Chinese military at both the DIA and CIA. After serving as the NIO for East Asia at the National Intelligence Council, he was put on loan by the CIA to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, where he served as the Principal Deputy Secretary of Defense, ISA, and concurrently as the Deputy Secretary of Defense for East Asia, and, after the Gulf War, as the Deputy Secretary of Defense for the Middle East and South Asia. President George W. Bush selected him to be the Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Intelligence and Research. He currently is an independent researcher focused on intelligence analysis and consults on Asian and Middle Eastern affairs.
