Barkas, Geoffrey.

1. with Natalie Barkas. The Camouflage Story: From Aintree to Alamein. London: Cassell, 1952.

According to Constantinides, Barkas headed Britain's camouflage organization in the Middle East from January 1941. The work covers both defensive and offensive measures, but "the section of the book dealing with offensive deception ... is the most fascinating."

2. and John Hutton. "Camouflage of Airfields in the Middle East, 1941-42." R.A.F. Quarterly 5, no.2 (Apr. 1953), 112-120. "LOC: BW (copy).
Camouflage of Middle East Airfields." Military Review 33, no.10 (Jan. 1954), 99-107.

According to Whaley, Bibliography of Counterdeception (2006), Hutton served as a camouflage officer under Barkas in World War II.

Constantinides: "British policy and activities, including much on SOE and resistance operations, are put in perspective and given a balanced account."

Barker, Ralph. Aviator Extraordinary: The Sidney Cotton Story. London: Chatto & Windus, 1969.

Constantinides: This is Cotton's story, as told to Ralph Barker, "of his photo reconnaissance career from shortly before the war to the fall of France. He describes the innovation in British photo reconnaissance and interpretation in which he was involved ... and the bureaucratic and interservice rivalries that impeded him and that he thinks finally succeeded in removing him from active duty."

Barker, Rodney. Dancing with the Devil: Sex, Espionage, and the U.S. Marines -- The Clayton Lonetree Story. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1996.

Surveillant 4.3: "Barker's attempt to paint Lonetree as a victim of racial prejudice..., as merely a scapegoat for the errors of his superiors, and, alas, as a misguided victim of love, do not change the facts."

The Periscope 21.5 reviewer suggests that Barker "at least" sets the record "straighter than it was before," but also notes that "much of the material [in the book] is not attributable."

[SpyCases/U.S.]

Barker, Thomas M. Social Revolutionaries and Secret Agents: The Carinthian Slovene Partisans and Britain's Special Operations Executive. Irvington, NY: Columbia University Press, 1990.

According to Surveillant 1.3, this book consists of "seventy-seven pages on the Carinthian War and why it occurred." The rest "is documentary material and appendices."

Surveillant 1.5 adds that Barker "reviews the literature and sources about the Carinthian partisan movement ... [and] finds that the success they ultimately had depended on material from the SOE which was hoping to use the pro-Nazi Carinthia to foment subversion in Austria and in Czechoslovakia and Poland."

Barkin, Edward S., and L. Michael Meyer. "COMINT and Pearl Harbor: FDR's Mistake." International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 2, no. 4 (Winter 1988): 513-531.

The focus here is the work of "neo-revisionists" who emphasize the interception of Japanese Naval radio transmissions, rather than MAGIC, as warnings that were ignored -- or, rather, that Roosevelt deliberately failed to communicate to the commanders at Pearl Harbor. See Edwin C. Fishel and Louis W. Tordello, "FDR's Mistake? Not Likely," International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 5, no. 3 (Fall 1991), 360-372, for a refutation.
