Instructors and intelligence practitioners Beebe and Pherson have created a set of twelve class-tested cases on events in foreign intelligence, counterintelligence, terrorism, homeland security, law enforcement, and decision-making support. These case studies are designed to give analysts in-training a hands-on opportunity to apply structured analytic techniques to tackle real-life problems. Each case delivers a compelling narrative and set of step-by-step instructions that make teaching and learning effective. Questions at start of each case challenge the student to think critically and help students bring the case into focus. Narratives provide detail to give a realistic sense of complexity and challenges of the case. Recommended readings at end of each narrative allow further research. Sections entitled "Structured Analytic Techniques in Action" frame the analytic tasks and give step-by-step instructions for applying three to five analytic techniques in a series of exercises for each case study. Photos, maps, figures, tables, boxes, and technique templates support analysis and instruction. A matrix of the cases and techniques used in each case provide students and instructors an all-in-one view of the contents.
