Pforzheimer says that Conquest's is an "invaluable" study that provides "well-documented coverage of the role played by the Soviet intelligence and security services."

2. Inside Stain's Secret Police: NKVD Politics 1936-39. London: Macmillan, 1985.

Haslam, I&NS 2.2, comments that "[a]t times [Conquest] stretches the evidence further than it can sustain, particularly in relying on Orlov and Krivitsky, a former NKVD and former GRU officer respectively."

Conquest, Robert. The Soviet Police System. New York: Praeger, 1968. London: Bodley Head, 1968.

Pforzheimer calls The Soviet Police System a "useful volume" on the domestic aspects of Soviet intelligence; however, it is "dated." Rocca and Dziak describe the book as a "basic and indispensable survey of the development of the KGB, largely in its domestic aspects, up to 1960."

Constantine, G. Ted. Intelligence Support to Humanitarian-Disaster Relief Operations: An Intelligence Monograph. Washington, DC: Center for the Study of Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, December 1995.

The author's key findings were: (1) "Both policymakers and operators expressed a need for significantly greater intelligence on humanitarian emergencies issues"; and (2) "The Intelligence Community's level of commitment to providing intelligence for disaster relief operations is uneven and, with few exceptions, not commensurate with expressed consumer needs."

Constantinides, George C. Intelligence and Espionage: An Analytical Bibliography. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1983. UB250Z99C66

Clark comment: This remains an important and interesting work. It covers over 500 mostly English-language titles with informed, substantively oriented annotations. Constantinides includes indices that cover author, subject, title, and intelligence category. However, the wealth of material that has come into the public domain since its publication (1983) makes the work somewhat dated in terms of the full scope of available materials. The annotations for the works cited continue to be useful and largely relevant.

The work's place in the field is recognized by Pforzheimer who calls it "arguably the most important work of its kind." Sexton sees it as an "essential research aid."
