Editorial Review: Product Description: Each year millions of people die, are displaced, become diseased, or suffer severe depravations at the hands of rogue states, predatory ethnic groups or tribes, or ruthless terrorist and criminal organizations. Around the globe, while recognizing the important efforts of selected Nation-States and selected Non-Governmental Organizations, only one organization can be said to be truly concerned with global security and global prosperity in the common interest of all mankind: the United Nations. Unfortunately, the United Nations has chosen to ignore the proven process of "intelligence" by confusing it with espionage. Intelligence is not about espionage, it is about rationalized decision-support in which global sources of information in many languages and many mediums (oral, written, imaged) are deliberated collected, processed, analyzed, and presented to decision-makers in order to reduce uncertainty, suggest alternatives, and otherwise make instability more manageable. This book is the first book to bring together a combination of experienced United Nations military commanders, experienced national intelligence leaders, and scholars of United Nations and insurgency history. It combines the results of the first annual conference on peacekeeping intelligence help in The Netherlands in November 2002, with eight seminal works from the past, and three vital references for the future--extracts from the Brahimi Report with intelligence-related footnotes; a completely new Peacekeeping Intelligence Leadership Digest 1.0 distilled from the entire book into 35 pages; and pointers to both the three North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) doctrinal documents on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), and to a selective group of recent references, most available online. This book is, in essence, "Ref A" for the future of intelligence at the United Nations. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Specific IntelligenceA mantra of the U.S. Intelligence System is that `support to military operations' (SMO) is an essential mission. As is often the case, few within that system seem to have a very clear idea of SMO really means. This is one of the reasons that this book, "Peacekeeping Intelligence" is such a significant contribution to the study of intelligence. Peacekeeping operations have become an increasingly important sub-set of military operations, especially for the U.S. Armed Forces, but also for ...

Thanks to everyone that has ordered this book, which is published as a non-profit endeavor. The concluding leadership in peacekeeping digest which is structured as an intelligence cycle versus levels of warfare (strategic, operational, tactical, technical) matrix continues to be available at oss.net or by request to the US editor. The third annual conference on peacekeeping intelligence by Sweden built from this ... Read More Rating: - There is moreI already wrote a review on this exellent book. But there is more. 4th Generation Warfare is the future we now live for 14 years now. (...) It's astonishing to note that the military still think in symmetric warfare terms. That concept died when on 9th November 1989 "peace broke out". It's all about good Intelligence now, in more than one explanation of this word. In the potential and possible areas of conflict (Middle East, Africa) you cannot find an army which can ... Read More Rating: - Finally, Intelligence with brainsBook review This book was published following the Conference on Peacekeeping and Intelligence held on 15 and 16 November 2002 at the IDL (Instituut Defensie Leergangen) in The Hague on the initiative of NISA (Netherlands Intelligence Studies Association) and comprises 5 sections. Section 1,2,3 : etc. see source text. Until recently mentioning the UN and Intelligence in one sentence was almost taboo. Even today one of the largest problems for the UN are the conflicting ... Read More Rating:  - Peacekeeping and Intelligence: a welcome primer.In Peacekeeping Intelligence - emerging concepts for the future (Ben de Jong, Wies Platje, Robert David Steele, eds.) OSS International Press, Oakton Va. 2003, an international group of authors brings together a usefull and insiders' study on a rare but highly relevant combination of security aspects. As a sovereign asset pur sang, intelligence is traditionally hardly considered as a viable tool for multinational security operations. Even the most legitimate among them, UN-mandated ... Read More
