Peake, Studies 49.4 (2005), notes that "[w]ithout the ability to control satellites in space, the National Reconnaissance Program could not have succeeded. The AFSCF [Armed Forces Satellite Control Facility] met that need, and David Arnold's story of how they did it is well documented and well told."

For Bailey, cicentre.com, this work "fills an important gap in intelligence history, chronicling the previously classified development of the command and control system for America's reconnaissance satellites.... The evolution of the Air Force satellite command and control system, from a single-user to a complex common-user system, is a story well-told" by the author.

Shaw, Air & Space Power Journal 22.2 (Summer 2008), says the author "has done a spectacular job of weaving previously untapped and unpublished information from Air Force Space Command archives together with interesting and invaluable personal interviews to construct a history of the burgeoning Air Force Satellite Control Facility (forerunner of today’s Air Force Satellite Control Network) from its infancy in the days of Sputnik to its culminating point at the end of 1969."

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) was formed on 1 August 1948. It provides "a full suite of investigative (criminal and fraud) and counterintelligence (CI) support to the Air Force." The author "examines the origins and history [of AFOSI] while focusimg on its CI mission.... The emphasis is on major post-WWII conflicts and [AFOSI's] CI structure today and in the future."

After surveying the origins and organization of Canada's internal security bureaucracy, the author concludes that (and seeks to explain why) "the government acted with caution and moderation" during the early Cold War period (1945-1950).

From 1945 to 1947, "the Canadian Joint Intelligence Committee prepared JIC 1 (Final), a report on when, where, and in what capacity the Soviet Union would strike Canada in the event of the next world war.... The report was completed and approved by Canadian and American defence officials in 1947 and updated versions became the basis for continental defence planning until the signing of the 1957 Norad agreement."

Air Force intelligence (A-2) was "more than any other agency ... convinced of the Soviet willingness to wage war." However, even though "A-2 came to be possessed by a rigidly anti-communist ideology, it established a progressive-minded reputation for introducing new ideas, techniques, and technological innovations."

Spanish prosecutors "have charged five members of Spanish military intelligence and a businessman of spying for the Cuban government. The ring's activity involved secret meetings in Miami between the Spanish spies and their Cuban handlers, plus money laundering, industrial espionage and disseminating disinformation favorable to Cuba."

Arostegui, Martin C. Twilight Warriors: Inside the World's Special Forces. New York: St. Martin's, 1997.

Bosiljevec, Proceedings, Jun. 1997, finds the focus in Twilight Warriors to be on direct-action raid operations from World War II to the present. Included in his survey are U.S. Special Forces, the British Special Air Service (SAS), Germany's GSG-9 counterterrorist force, and the French GIGN. Nevertheless, he misses the U.S. Navy SEALs and the Israeli special units, such as Prime Minister Netanyahu's old unit, Sayaret Matkal. And the absence from the book of the Son Tay POW rescue attempt "is an inexcusable omission." This book is a "good read and paints a colorful story," but it fails to comes to grips with the broader significance of the dichotomy between the successes and failures of special forces, especially in the United States.

Arquilla, John. From Troy to Entebbe: Special Operations in Ancient and Modern Times. Lanham, MD: University Press of America, 1996.

This is a book of readings on "special operations," beginning with two selections from Robert Graves on the Trojan War and concluding with a selection from Chaim Herzog on the Entebbe raid. Despite the title's suggestion of a sweep across history, the 19th and 20th centuries dominate.

According to Peake, Studies 49.3 (2005), this book "makes it clear" that KGB Col. Rudolf Abel really was "Willi Fisher, born in Newcastle, England, in 1903." The author "adds considerable detail to Fisher’s stay in the United States, where he worked as an artist while supporting the Rosenberg network, atomic spy Ted Hall, and Morris and Leona Cohen."

"Tensions between Russia and the UK over the ongoing investigation into the poisoning death of former Russian intelligence agent Alexander Litvinenko have escalated to a new level with the United Kingdom's decision to expel four Russian diplomats in response to Moscow's refusal to hand over Britain's chief suspect in the murder, Andrei Lugovoi. Russia responded with tit-for-tat measures [on 19 July 2007], declaring four British diplomats persona non grata and giving them ten days to leave the country."
