Walter J. Boyne

Thomas Dunne Books, 2002

Reply to Mr. Henning

Uri Bar-Joseph

State University of New York Press, 2005

It should be read by all intelligence analysts ...
particularly those who work what we in the Intelligence Community call "indications and warning." "The Watchman Fell Asleep" is --in my opinion-- destined to be a "classic" in the literature of intelligence failures, surprise attacks, and denial and deception. ...
