During the Cold War, U.S. intelligence was concerned primarily with
states; non-state actors like terrorists were secondary. Now the
priorities are reversed and the challenge is enormous. States had an
address, and they were hierarchical and bureaucratic. They thus came
with some 'story'. Terrorists do not. States were 'over there', but
terrorists are there and here. They thus put pressure on intelligence
at home, not just abroad. The strength of this book is that it
underscores the extent of the change and ranges broadly across data
collection and analysis, foreign and domestic, as well as presenting
the issues of value that arise as new targets require collecting more
information at home.
