Studies in Intelligence. Volume 53, Number 3, September 2009
Abstract
The Center for the Study of Intelligence (CSI) was founded in 1974 in response to Director of Central Intelligence James Schlesinger's desire to create within CIA an organization that could "think through the functions of intelligence and bring the best intellects available to bear on intelligence problems." The center, comprising professional historians and experienced practitioners, attempts to document lessons learned from past activities, to explore the needs and expectations of intelligence consumers, and to stimulate serious debate about current and future intelligence challenges. To carry out this mission, CSI publishes Studies in Intelligence, as well as numerous books and monographs addressing historical, operational, doctrinal and theoretical aspects of the intelligence profession. It also administers the CIA Museum and maintains the Agency's Historical Intelligence Collection of published literature on intelligence. Articles in this issue include: Improving Homeland Security at the State Level; Thinking About the Business of Intelligence; In Gratitude to the Crews of Air America: A Speech to an Air America Symposium; The Horse Soldiers: the Extraordinary Story of a Band of US Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan; Memories of a Cuban Soldier: Life and Death of the Revolution; Strategic Intelligence: A Handbook for Practitioners, Mangers and Users and the Intelligence Officer's Bookshelf.
