Breckinridge, Scott D.
The CIA and the U.S. Intelligence System, (Boulder and
London: Westview Press, 1986)Comment: A virtual intelligence order of battle, this book covers the spectrum of military and civilian intelligence organizations. The detail, while dry at times, is well documented and covers all major points of interest. It is a good primer to learn how intelligence requirements are handled in the intelligence community. It also outlines areas of responsibility which can be very helpful, especially in fashioning requests for information. Although some of the information is dated, the book is still the best overview available.
