Surveillant 1.3 says this is a "surprisingly well-written account of the motivations and experiences of ... a senior [SIS] officer ... sentenced in 1961 ... for spying for the KGB.... This interesting account (unexpectedly critical of the Soviets) also provides ... new insights into the British spies ... who fled and took up residence in Moscow."
Powers, NYRB 40.9, comments that, as "useful as Blake may have been to the Soviets, it is hard to argue that great affairs of state turned upon his treason."

Frederic. General John H. Winder C.S.A. Gainesville: University of
Florida Press, 1990.
Winder was Provost Marshal of Richmond. "Established in 1961 under Gen. John Henry Winder, this organization had a checkered career, being responsible at one time or another for military discipline in the Richmond area, counterespionage, the defense of Richmond, the administration of prisoners of war, and the collection of information in support of these various tasks." Tidwell, April '65, p. 31. Blakey's biography "gives some useful detail" on Winder's early life, "but, unfortunately, has very little to say about his wartime responsibilities." Ibid., 227 fn.20.

and Richard Billings. Fatal Hour: The Assassination of President Kennedy by Organized Crime. New York: Berkeley, 1992.
According to Kaiser, I&NS 12.4, the authors seek to reinforce the case they first made for the House Select Committee on Assassinations (Blakey was the Chief Counsel of the committee and Billings its Public Relations Director) and later in their book The Plot to Kill the President. That case is that "Oswald acted on behalf of organized crime."

"According to Israel's Channel 2 television, more than 200 Mossad operatives, including seven heads of department (a rank equivalent to major-general in the military) have left the organisation since General Meir Dagan, a longtime associate of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, took over as director on 30 October 2002.... Channel 2 said the current upheaval stemmed mainly from Dagan's focus on undercover operations against Islamic jihadists and their fellow-travellers. The TV station said in a lengthy investigative programme that senior Mossad figures had been tied up with 'fending off mad ideas for operations' presented by Dagan."

In this Op-Ed piece, the author notes that the Senate has voted to exempt the DIA's "operational files" from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The DIA has claimed that these files are "so highly classified" that they are "'always exempt from release.' But thousands of declassified documents from these same files testify to the contrary."

"The crime of Phoenix was not the use of harsh methods to apprehend or destroy the enemies of the GVN. Its crime was ineffectiveness, indiscriminateness, and, in some areas at least, the violation of the local norms to the extent that it appeared to the villagers to be a threat to them in the peaceful performance of their daily business. The Americans involved erred in not appreciating the extent to which the pathology of Vietnamese society would distort an apparently sound concept. The GVN was guilty of both misfeasance and malfeasance in executing the program." (p. 276)
