Mike Ennis, USMC\n\nIn this book Jeffrey Moore profiles the history and select operations of Americas first effective, all source, joint military intelligence agency. Known as JICPOA for Joint Intelligence Center, Pacific Ocean Areas, the agencys nearly two thousand specialists are credited with giving Admiral Nimitz the intelligence he needed to win the Pacific War. Moore explains how JICPOA evolved and reveals some new facts about the war as he assesses the impact of intelligence on eight amphibious campaigns in the islands of the Central Pacific. He also demonstrates timeless intelligence lessons, faulty versus effective intelligence techniques, and intelligence-operational planning integration--subjects that continue to be pertinent to todays military operations, including the war on terror.\n\nFor this unprecedented look at the little-known but groundbreaking organization, Moore draws on interviews with key personnel and internal documents. He supports his analysis of JICPOAs strengths and weaknesses, its successes and failures, with more than forty maps, charts, and illustrations. With a foreword by the head of Marine Corps intelligence, the book makes an excellent addition to World War II history and professional collections. Intelligence experts and operations planners will find its lessons useful and insightful. Readers with an interest in real-life thrillers will find it a fascinating study of basic intelligence work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"US Naval Institute Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966847086645,"sku":"ByrdShop_1591144884","price":45.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781591144885_ecfd33cf-32c5-4907-9ef0-06624b8ee723.jpg?v=1781423112","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/spies-for-nimitz-joint-military-intelligence-in-the-pacific-war-9781591144885","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
