One of the hallmarks of a profession is a recognized body of literature that has grown up about and around it. By this measure, intelligence has long been able to claim the title "profession." However, intelligence, by its nature, has also given rise to a significant number of misinformed, partially correct and incorrect written accounts. Serious students, scholars and professionals need to know the extent to which their sources are accurate and reliable. This critically annotated Bibliography of Intelligence Literature is intended to fulfill that function. The Eighth Edition of the Bibliography, like its predecessors, owes an inestimable debt to the untiring efforts of Dr. Walter Pforzheimer, an Adjunct Professor at the Defense Intelligence College. Those already familiar with the field of intelligence literature know that Dr. Pforzheimer is uniquely qualified to select and annotate entries for this Bibliography. After a career in intelligence that began in 1942 in Air Force Intelligence, and included being CIA's first Legislative Counsel (1946-56) as well as Curator of its Historical Intelligence Collection from 1956-1974, he is recognized as the foremost bibliographer and bibliophile in the field.
