I first began thinking about a book of cases when I was a U.S. Government analyst and manager. This experience, including an assignment as Director for Russia on the White House National Security Council staff, drove home the need for rigorous and effective approaches to intelligence analysis. I have to admit that I mulled the idea for several years and only hit the go button when I realized that students really had nothing to help them bridge the gap between theory and practice. The case book, exercises, and Instructor Materials (a separate, book-length manual that is available *for free* from the publisher) are meant to fill an important gap not only for students, but also for practitioners.

I am usually working on more than one project at the same time. If I'm deep in the writing process on one project, there is almost always something I can do on the other project(s) if I need a break from writing. Writing is just one part of the creative process for me, so I enjoy switching gears to ideate, develop a new case design, or research a new topic.
