His insider story reveals how official Washington thought about intelligence in the years before the 9/11 tragedy and how the commission's work fits into the ongoing effort at intelligence reform. The Threat on the Horizon tells a fascinating tale about a part of government that is generally inaccessible to citizens and scholars alike. --James J. Wirtz, Dean of the School of International Graduate Studies, Naval Postgraduate School<p><br> Loch Johnson's lively first-hand account is a rare behind-the-scenes look at an inquiry into U.S. intelligence. He shows that the answers, and even the questions, are more complicated than most think. --Paul R. Pillar, Professor of Security Studies, Georgetown University<p><br> Making the American intelligence process work has vexed and perplexed policymakers and analysts for decades.
