Intelligence Failures and Decent Intervals provides a look at the truth behind military and diplomatic blunders to which "intelligence failure labels" have been attached that are intended to hide leadership failures responsible for the blunders. From the 1950 Chinese Communist intervention in the Korean War, to the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam and the so-called surprise attack that began the 1973 Yom Kippur War in the Middle East, the book exposes instance after instance in which this egregious practice has occurred. The detriment thus reaped by the practice inures to the erosion of the Intelligence Community's effectiveness and ultimately that of our national security. The book also offers support in the official position of the U.S. Army's Center of Military History for the author's suspicion that the Vietnam War was "lost" as a result of widespread leadership failures related to the discipline of Signals Intelligence.

Intelligence Failures and Decent Intervals
If the last history I read (The Age of Gold: The California Gold Rush and the New American Dream) was written at the level of the USA Today, this book is written at the level of the Weekly World News. This book is a series of broad value assertions in the most purple of prose without attribution or logical argument, apparently under the impression that no argument is necessary if the assertion is bold or biased enough.
If this were a first term paper by a 10th grade high school student, the English teach would have wasted a red pen circling sentences and writing "Is this common knowledge? Needs to be foot noted."
But this not a first term paper by a 10th grade high school student, it is an "academic" history text published by Yale University Press.
I wonder if this is what passes for scholarship in the Ivy League these days.
