It excels when focused on great power rivalry, yet repeatedly fails to anticipate revolutions, civil wars, and emerging threats-often with devastating consequences.\u003cbr\u003eBlending rigorous analysis with gripping real-world examples, \u003ci\u003ePresidential Daily Intelligence Briefs\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the hidden biases, institutional blind spots, and human judgments that shape intelligence at the highest levels. It reveals not only how intelligence works, but why it sometimes doesn't-and what that means for America's future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael O.
