| Summary/Abstract |
When I arrived in 2006 as a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer-in-residence at Boston University (BU), I had no plans to author anything. My colleague at BU, Arthur Hulnick, had also been a CIA officer-in-residence twenty years earlier and had written two books and numerous articles on intelligence. However, Hulnick had had a CIA career as an analyst. Therefore, he had an excuse for writing because analysts are writers. However, he convinced me to write a paper for the intelligence section of the International Studies Association meeting in Chicago the following March. With an introduction to Richard Valcourt, the editor of the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence at the time, I found myself on the way not only to publishing articles on intelligence but reviewing books written by former colleagues at the CIA.
