"This carefully-researched book is an important contribution to the scholarship on intelligence. Its focus is leadership, and it provides a theoretical framework for understanding the challenges intelligence leaders will face, broadening the definition of leadership to include ethics, self-awareness and, critically, transformation. Intelligence agencies have not been badly led -- I say as someone having led one -- but I hope Walsh's book with contribute to a more open debate about how future leaders should be prepared when information multiplies by the second, technology offers dramatic possibilities, both good and bad, and private intelligence providers are both competitors and potential collaborators."-- Gregory F. Treverton former Chair, U.S. National Intelligence Council, now Professor of the Practice of International Relations and Spatial Sciences, University of Southern California, USA."Australian scholar Patrick F. Walsh is one of the most thoughtful contributors to our understanding of how the Intelligence Communities within the Five Eyes nations operate, and how they might improve their performance. In this volume, his third book on intelligence, Professor Walsh impressively lays out important principles of intelligence leadership and governance, then skillfully applies them to the challenge of overcoming the fragmentation that afflicts these organizations. He addresses many other vital leadership problems, too, including the difficulties that accompany the wise integration of Artificial Intelligence and ethical considerations into leadership practices within these unique organizations. The intelligence organizations of the Five Eyes face many institutional obstacles as they confront---separately and together---the many threats that face the world, from terrorism and pandemics to the national security implications of climate change and failing states. Good leadership will be vital and Patrick Walsh lights the way."-- Dr. Loch K. Johnson, Regents Professor Emeritus, School of Public and International Affairs, University of Georgia, USA.
