This second edition of The National Security Business provides practitioners' insights into the operation, missions, and organizational cultures of the principal national security businesses and other establishments that shape the US national security decision-making process. Unlike some textbooks on American overseas policy, it offers analysis from insiders who've worked at the National Security Council, the state of hawaii and Security Departments, the intellect community, and the other critical government entities. The booklet points out how organizational missions and cultures create the labyrinth when a coherent national security policy must be fashioned. Taking into account the changes unveiled by the Obama administration, the second edition includes four new or completely modified chapters (Congress, Department of Homeland Security, Treasury, and USAID) and revisions to the written text throughout. It protects changes instituted because the first edition was released in 2011, implications of the government advertising campaign to prosecute leaks, and lessons discovered from greater than a decade of battle in Afghanistan and Iraq. This up-to-date booklet will charm to students of US national security and overseas policy as well as career policymakers. The booklet is released by Georgetown University Press. "Provides the best one-volume compilation I've seen for understanding intellect, its internal procedures, and the surroundings where it works."
