The art of the intelligence autopsy / James J Wirtz. - 2014

Presents the processes used by Robert Jervis in carrying out postmortems of two cases of intelligence failure: the fall of Shah of Iran in 1979, and the claim that Iraq had restarted its nuclear program in 2002. Discusses the findings of the postmortems and notes (a) the value of collaboration between scholars and analysts, and (b) that improving analytical tradecraft is more useful than bureaucratic reorganization.
