This book is about the reinvention of national, defense and business intelligence within the larger context of an open worlda world where "Evil Empires" and the Berlin Wall have fallenbut also a world where transportation, power, financial, and communications infrastructures are so open as to dramatically increase the vulnerability of America to trans-continental epidemics, anonymous information terrorism, and nation-wide power black-outs and financial melt-downs. As the world enters the Information Century, and simultaneously confronts the fragmentation of many nation-states and the emergence of widespread ethnic, tribal and criminal gang terrorism and confrontation, no topic can be more important to federal, state, and local governmentsand to international, national, and local businesses than the topic of "intelligence".
