"Words of Intelligence: A Dictionary is intended for the intelligence and national security forces fighting the global war on terrorism at all levels: local, state, and federal. The intelligence community has undergone massive changes since the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Administration, and Department of Defense were created, especially with the establishment of Homeland Security and a director of national intelligence. Intelligence must now be transmitted to state and local public administrators, health officials, and transportation planners in the event of a domestic attack. With more than 600 terms related to theoretical aspects of intelligence, intelligence operations and strategies, security classification of information, obscure names of intelligence boards and organizations, and homeland security, this dictionary is an invaluable tool for anyone who needs a working knowledge of intelligence-related issues." -- From the publisher.
