Annan, Noël. Changing Enemies: The Defeat and Regeneration of Germany. London: HarperCollins, 1995. New York: Norton, 1995.

Frazier, I&NS 11.3, comments that for the war years, the book represents "a valuable record of the inner workings of the system of control and use of intelligence by means of the Joint Intelligence Staff (JIS)." The work is more limited with regard to the regeneration of postwar Germany.

For Surveillant 4.4/5, this is an "intimate portrait of British military, intelligence, and diplomatic operations from one who was closely involved in the work." Similarly, Powers, NYRB, 9 Jan. 1997, sees a "finely written memoir of [Annan's] own wartime intelligence work mainly concerned with the Germans."

Whaley, Bibliography of Counterdeception (2006), views Changing Enemies as the "[p]erceptive memoirs of a British junior military intelligence analyst in WW II London." There is some suspicion, however, that the author "adjusted some of his memories to fit hindsight."

[Anonymous.] SOE Secret Operations Manual. Boulder, CO: Paladin, 1993.

From publisher: "[T]his is the original manual used to train special agents dropped behind enemy lines in Nazi-occupied Europe. Used by the British SOE and its American counterpart, the OSS, it is an authentic reproduction of extraordinary historical significance obtained from a former clandestine services operative."

According to Surveillant 3.4/5, this is "most likely a retyped training syllabus that is most likely of U.S. as opposed to British origin. The vernacular and references ... are clearly of U.S. origin.... This is possibly an OSS Training Manual."

Kruh, Cryptologia 18.1, also notes the presence of Americanisms in this publication, but seems willing to accept the publisher's explanation that, while of SOE origin, it was also used by the OSS. The operational "information is professional in its approach and provides sound advice for agents operating in hostile territory."

As one of the U.S. Army official histories of the Korean War (see also, Hermes and Schnabel), the focus of this work is not on intelligence; but intelligence issues are addressed within the broader context of coverage of the war.

The author views the study of "remote viewing" as an "eyeball-roller." By the laws of physics, remote viewing, mental telepathy, and ESP are physically impossible.
