Прицельное мышление. Принятие решений по методикам британских спецслужб

From this book, you will not learn how to dig up the dirty secrets of dictators, catch arms dealers, or smuggle secret reports across borders. David Omand, a former high-ranking official of the British intelligence service, talks about the main skill of an intelligence officer — making correct decisions based on limited, incomplete, and sometimes simply unreliable information. From his book, you will learn what to do when you don't have time to verify facts, how to learn not to panic, not to freeze, to accurately assess risks, to ignore conspiracy theories, and to expose liars and manipulators. The author's information management method is based on the years of experience of intelligence officers and analysts from various countries, honed during events such as the Falklands War or the Caribbean Crisis. Separate chapters of the book are devoted to negotiating and establishing trusting relationships in various circumstances.
