This article documents "a clear trend toward an increasingly close relationship between intelligence and policy." While there is broad support for the new trend, "there also is continuing validity in the traditional" view that intelligence should be kept "at arm's length from policy."

Barry, John, and Gregory L. Vistica. "The Penetration Is Total." Newsweek, 19 Mar. 1999.

U.S. officials believe that China may have acquired considerable information over the last 20 years about U.S. nuclear weapons. "The government's damage-assessment team is now trying to figure out who could have given the secrets to Beijing. They do not believe it was a foreign visitor to the labs, or leaks through U.S. allies.... 'This was done by American citizens,' says one source close to the investigation.... [T]he close-knit nuclear community [is] wondering if a colleague could have done the unthinkable."

Bartholomew-Feis, Dixee R. The OSS and Ho Chi Minh: Unexpected Allies in the War Against Japan. Lawrence, KS: University Press of Kansas, 2006.

According to Peake, Studies 50.4 (2006) and Intelligencer 15.2 (Fall/Winter 2006-2007), this "is the first book devoted" to the OSS-Ho wartime relationship. "The mission of the OSS team, designated Deer, was to work with the Vietnamese and conduct sabotage, intelligence collection, and morale operations against the Japanese in Indochina. While it might be expected that with the end of the war in view cooperation from all anti-Japanese participants in the region would have been smooth and effective, Professor Bartholomew-Feis leaves no doubt whatever that the reality was otherwise."

Goulden, Intelligencer 15.2 (Fall/Winter 2006-2007), finds that the author has "skillfully mined OSS records in the National Archives." Bartholomew-Feis' "story is well told in a thoroughly researched, tautly written account."

For Brown, I&NS 22.6 (Dec. 2007), the author "masterfully examines the fateful relationship" between the OSS and "the embryonic Viet Minh insurgent movement." This is "an engaging and valuable book."
