What is it about?
By focusing on two publications published in 1968 by well-informed former British Intelligence practitioners - namely, Sir Kenneth Strong's 'Intelligence at the top' and Donald McLachlan's 'Room 39' - this chapter aims to recall and reflect further on many of their lessons relevant for both doing and studying intelligence.
