Clark comment: Having used this title as an ancillary text in my National Security Policy Issues course, I obviously agree with Valcourt, IJI&C 4.3, that this is "a valuable text for undergraduate students taking a course in national security policymaking."

Cradock, Percy [Sir]. Know Your Enemy: How the Joint Intelligence Committee Saw the World. London: John Murray, 2002.
Addison, History Today, 52.7, finds that the author, a former JIC chairman, "has written a sober and persuasive analysis" of the JIC's "less than infallible performance during a number of post-war crises.... But the Cold War is the main theme and, as he demonstrates, the JIC's advice was consistently sane and a calming influence during periods of tension."
For Unsinger, NIPQ 19.1/2, this "[i]nteresting and enlightening" book is "thoroughly researched and well-written." Similarly, Cohen, FA 81.3, declares Know Your Enemy "interesting and thoughtful.... The author's discussion of the relationship between intelligence estimates and policymaking is particularly well done."
West, IJI&C 16.1, notes that "Cradock's treatment of the JIC's declassified files is excellent and largely fair," but "he strays when reaching beyond the Cabinet Office to areas where his personal experience is limited.... The tone is mildly critical of politicians, perhaps even slightly anti-American, and emphatically self-congratulatory about the JIC structure."
To Morrison, I&NS 17.4, Cradock had "one of the finest analytical minds ever applied in the UK to the problems of intelligence." The chapter in this book on "Intelligence and Policy" is "essential reading for any student or practitioner of intelligence, and especially for those who have unrealistic ideas of what intelligence can achieve."

Kruh, Cryptologia 28.1, says that Cragon "thoroughly details the breaking of Fish.... The author credits individuals for their contributions but mainly focuses on the electronic designs and details that led to success."

"A Matter of Espionage: Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White and Igor Gouzenko
-- The Canadian Connection Reassessed." Intelligence and National
Security 15, no. 2 (Summer 2000): 211-224.
Abstract: "Craig argues that ... the [Russian] defector [Igor Gouzenko] did not possess a shread of evidence ... that implicated Harry Dexter White in the Soviet [espionage] conspiracy.... Gouzenko's revelations have no relevance or bearing on the espionage case relating to White."

Craig, R. Bruce. Treasonable Doubt: The Harry Dexter White Case. Lawrence, KS: University Press of Kansas, 2004.
According to DKR, AFIO WIN 19-04 (7 Jun. 2004), the author "seeks to show that Harry Dexter White, who spied for the Soviets, was at the same time an honorable man.... Craig's book is likely to strike at least some readers as intellectually dishonest.... Craig ignores ... mischief wrought by White.... Some may agree that the publication of Craig's whitewash by what has been thought of as a reputable university press raises troubling questions about the intellectual integrity of at least parts of American academia."
Van Hook, Studies 49.1 (2005), says that this work "offers an important contribution to the often-polemical literature on the problem of Soviet espionage in the United States.... Despite the less than robust treatment of the VENONA material, a missed opportunity to paint a broader social picture, and the rather melodramatic representation that the FBI and HUAC unfairly persecuted White in the final years of his life, the author's otherwise even-handed treatment ... is well founded and welcome."
