Introduction to Intelligence Studies

xix

Acknowledgments

Projects such as this book require the eorts of more individuals than just the

authors. Many at e University of Mississippi graciously assisted us with their

time and talents. In particular, Network Administrator Walter Flaschka used his

computer genius to rescue us on many occasions and contributed gures and

charts to the book. Graduate Assistant Jodi Ferguson helped us administratively,

and students in the Spring 2012 Honors section of the Introduction to Intelligence

(ISS 125) course provided critical feedback on various chapters. We also thank

our publishers at Taylor & Francis who helped us along at every step. Finally,

none of this would have been possible without the love, guidance, and support of

our families. ...
