Bailey, F.M. [Col.] Mission to Tashkent. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992.

Wyatt, I&NS 8.2, says this book was "impossible to put down." It concerns "Bailey's activities in Russian Central Asia" in the period immediately after Russia had dropped out of World War I. The Foreign Office withheld the book from publication until 1946. This reprint is "fascinating and informative."

Bailey, Geoffrey [Pseud.]. The Conspirators. New York: Harper, 1960. London: Gollancz, 1961.

Rocca and Dziak call The Conspirators "[o]ne of the better and reliable works on the 'Trust' and other Soviet operations against the emigration."

Constantinides says the part of the book on the Trust "is by and large a useful presentation of facts and interpretation.... Experts believe this is one of the best treatments of that Soviet operation, even though .. it includes some errors." But the reverse is true about the segment covering the Tukhachevsky affair; in fact, "[s]pecialists consider it quite unreliable." See pages 3-132 for the portion of this book concerned with the "Trust" operation (1921-1927) and follow-on events.

For Halebian, Studies 9.4 (Fall 1965), Bailey's is "[a]n uneven and not completely satisfactory account of the Trust operation, largely drawn from Western sources."

Bailey, Norman A. "National Interest versus National Security? The Case of Iraq." Intelligencer 15, no. 2 (Fall/Winter 2006-2007): 19-20.

The author argues that mixing up national interests for national security, with the latter coming into play only when vital interests are at stake, can lead to overkill, the wasting of resources, and/or the sapping of national strength.

Bailey, Roderick. "Communist in SOE: Explaining James Klugmann's Recruitment and Retention." Intelligence and National Security 20, no. 1 (Mar. 2005): 72-97.

"Klugmann worked on the headquarters staff" of SOE's Yugoslav Section "from February 1942 until August 1944.... He was also a passionate and proactive British communist.... The preparedness of MI5 and SOE to clear him for secret work..., underlines their lack of concern about the theoretical threat to SOE's integrity that dedicated communists like Klugmann could pose."

Bailey, Roderick. "OSS-SOE Relations, Albania 1943-44." Intelligence and National Security 15, no. 2 (Summer 2000): 20-35.

From Abstract: "[T]he Balkan files of Britain's Special Operations Executive confirm that SOE ... sought to resist excessive interference by the American Office of Strategic Services just as OSS sought greater involvement. Yet care must be taken not exaggerate the scope of this friction and the geographical area affected.... Contrary to the claims of the official OSS historian, SOE was not responsible for the limited involvement and achievements of OSS in the mountains and forests of Albania."
