William G. Hanne

Intelligence is the world's second oldest profession with far fewer morals than the first but yet we have a tendency to think that the charm of knowledge is lost once we share it.

My books (published by BookServices.us) focus on the acquisition and use of information on a variety of topics. "A Snake in the Road" covers two tours as a an intelligence advisor to the same Vietnamese infantry division in the Delta 5 years apart, "The View from First Mountain" concerns rebuilding a civilian controlled military in the Balkans and a "Different Perspective on Transformational Leadership:Thirty Years Later" is my year on the sunny beaches of Sinop, Turkey. Other publications are available through the US Army's Strategic Studies Institute or Military Review. Oh yes, there is also the Landscape Atlas of the USSR using 1:250000 scale maps to illustrate sequent occupance in then-USSR (1971).

Born and raised in Kansas City, KS; graduated from West Point in 1960, 29 years active duty with a career focus on intelligence; Masters in Geography (University of Illinois 1968) and a PhD in Policy, planning, and administration (University of Maryland 1991). Served 13 years as Mayor of Arendtsville, Pennsylvania.

Taught in a variety of institutions, most recently in University of Arizona's OLLI program in Green Valley; topics covered included History of Russia and Geopolitics.
