The Handbook of African Intelligence Cultures.

"The Handbook of African Intelligence Cultures" is a comprehensive survey of the intelligence community in Africa, covering fifty-four countries. The book addresses a significant gap in the literature, as intelligence organizations in Africa are not widely studied. The chapters provide insights into the diverse intelligence cultures across the continent, highlighting variations in definitions of intelligence, politicization of intelligence, and the role of intelligence in preserving government stability. The volume emphasizes the importance of understanding the unique historical, economic, and cultural factors that shape intelligence operations in each country. It is a valuable resource for scholars, intelligence professionals, and those interested in doing business in Africa. [Extracted from the article]
