Dahl Analyzes Intelligence Failures, Successes
Abstract
Center for Homeland Defense and Security faculty member Erik Dahl has
a startling assessment of intelligence practice in the United States for the
past half century.
"We have misunderstood why intelligence fails for the past 50 years,"
Dahl said during an interview in his office at Glasgow Hall on the NPS
campus. "My major finding is that our conventional understanding about
intelligence failure is wrong."
Dahl’s book, "Intelligence and Surprise Attack," was released by
Georgetown University Press in July. The book studies intelligence
failures from Pearl Harbor through the Sept. 11 attacks, and in it Dahl
combines his 21-year career as a Navy intelligence officer with his
academic research that began as a doctoral student at Tufts University in
order to reach a conclusion that challenges the conventional wisdom.
