"Dr. Weaver’s provocative book on the U.N Security Council is written with the precision and expertise of an intelligence professional and military officer. It offers insights into the seismic shifts taking place on the world stage including potential implications for global alliances and diplomatic relations. It is a must read for graduate students in public administration, political science, and international studies." -Lorenda Naylor, Schaefer Center Faculty Fellow, University of Baltimore"An excellent, concise primer on the differing national security perspectives of the various permanent members of the UN Security Council. Dr. Weaver applies proven methodology to establish a guideline for how US policy makers should consider and apply Intelligence and Information as a key instrument of National Power." -Stephen Cheng, COL, USA (Ret).
