About this book
Reviews
“This book would be an excellent summary for readers wanting to get an overview of the critical issues, and it would be an excellent textbook for course work in this field. For a generalist in the IC, it may provide new information.” (Margaret S. Marangione, International Journal of Intelligence and Counter Intelligence, Vol. 32 (3), 2019)
“Walsh provides clear organizational sections within in each chapter so that readers can choose to pass or skip ahead to other sections if desired. The way the book is organized is pitched nicely to newbies as well as those more seasoned in intelligence and biosecurity – and it helps build the connectors between those in intelligence and those in the biological sciences/biosecurity.” (Kathleen M. Vogel, Intelligence and National Security, May 28, 2019)
