Boraz, Steven C. "Establishing Democratic Control of Intelligence in Colombia." International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 19, no. 1 (Spring 2006): 84-109. Boraz, Steven C.

"In reviewing the oversight regime in Colombia, the strides made by the executive branch ... have been impressive.... The country's leadership is providing clearer policy, has organized the community to better serve its needs, and is now following up to determine the efficacy of the intelligence community.... [T]hat no legislative oversight exists at all is troublesome."

"Democratizing or newly democratic countries ... must deal with the ... arduous task of transforming intelligence bureaucracies that once served undemocratic regimes." South Africa and Taiwan "have met the challenge of intelligence reform in varying ways, while Russia "has seen an intelligence establishment inherited from Soviet days promote a recent backslide toward authoritarianism."

Bath, NIPQ 21.1 (Mar. 2005), notes that the report of the committee headed by Dr. Edwin Dorn "is the heart" of this book.
For Marsman, DIJ 14.1 (2005), the authors provide "the context for properly interpreting the findings and intent of the Dorn Report.... A fairly easy read, the book clarifies comments, findings, and statements that were not (or could not) be made in 1995."

Borchgrave, Arnaud de. "Commentary: Regime Change a la Francais." United Press International, 14 Mar. 2003. [http://www.upi.com]
"There was a time when France was not so squeamish about regime change. In fact, France has intervened militarily -- either to change regimes in sub-Saharan Africa or to restore deposed strongmen -- no less than 37 times since 1960.... There was never any thought of going to the U.N. Security Council when France's national interest was deemed to be at stake in its former colonies." The role of DGSE head Alexandre de Marenches in replacing the Central African Republic's Bokassa with David Dacko in 1979 is the centerpiece of this article, but other French interventions in Africa are mentioned.

These are the gentle and fond memoirs of a very nice man. There is virtually nothing controversial or startling revealed here. Nonetheless, what Borel has to say is not unimportant, given that his CIA career spanned the period 1947 to 1972. Borel was the recipient of one of the 50 "Trailblazer Awards" presented during the Agency's 50th anniversary celebration.

Borgonovo, John. Spies, Informers and the "Anti-Sinn Fein Society": The Intelligence War in Cork City, 1919-1921. Dublin: Irish Academic Press, 2006.
From publisher: This book "analyses the existence" of "an Anti-Sinn Fein Society, a pro-British intelligence network operating" in Cork city; "alleged IRA persecution of ex-soldiers[;] and the strength of the IRA intelligence efforts in Cork city. It places these trends in the context of both the British reprisal campaign in Cork city, and the IRA's guerrilla struggle. The book contains significant original research that focuses on events in Cork city in 1920-1921."
