Crockett, Harvey L. [LTCOL/USA] "Office of the Chief of Military Intelligence." Military Intelligence 30, no. 2 (Apr.-Jun. 2004): 9.

The "Chief of the MI Corps is the Commanding General, United States Army Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca. Traditionally, the Commanding General wears three hats: Commandant of the Army’s Military Intelligence Center, MI Corps Commander, and Chief of Military Intelligence."

Croddy, Eric. "Dealing with Al Shifa: Intelligence and Counterproliferation." International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 15, no. 1 (Spring 2002): 52-60

The missile attack on the Al Shifa pharmaceutical facility in Khartoum, Sudan, "highlights the difficulties and challenges when it comes to intelligence gathering and analysis when seeking to detect chemical or biological weapons production.... [T]he contrary, misinformed, and confused nature of the Clinton administration's attempts to justify its actions only created more doubt in both American and international public opinion."

Cross, John P. "A Face Like a Chicken's Backside": An Unconventional Soldier In South East Asia, 1948-1971. London: Greenhill, 1996.

According to Short, I&NS 13.2, the main part of this book is the hunt for Ah Soo Chye, the Chinese guerrilla leader living in the deep jungles of northern Malaya. Readers also get "a rare view of the underside" of the Malaysia-Indonesia "Confrontation" from Cross' experiences as commander of the Border Scouts in Sabah and Sarawak.

Cross, John P. First In, Last Out: An Unconventional British Officer in Indo-China. London: Brassey's, 1992.

Tonnesson, I&NS 10.3, notes that Cross served with the Gurkhas who suppressed the revolution in southern Vietnam in 1945. From 1972-1976, he was the British defense attaché in Vientiene. The first part of the book "adds nothing to our understanding of what happened in Indochina in 1945-46." The second part provides an "at times fascinating ... account of the atmosphere within the ... international community of Vientiene.... Cross has some arresting episodes ... to recount, but they are drowned in the author's unrelenting attempts to satisfy his own vanity.... The normal reader is likely to be ... disgusted by the author's frenetic self-praise." It is likely that, when they become available, Cross' reports from Vientiene "will be valuable sources.... But if you do not have to read the book, don't."

The newly discovered "diary of Captain Stephen Alley, second in command of the British intelligence mission in Petrograd[,]... shows he positioned four undercover agents ready to extract ... the deposed Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian imperial family" from the house in Ekaterinburg where they were being held. Nicholas' wife, Alexandra, was Queen Victoria's granddaughter. The diary was found accidentally by Alley's "descendants in a trunk of his papers and will be featured in Queen Victoria’s Grandchildren, a documentary to be shown ... in December."

MI 21.3: This book about the role of Nisei in World War II includes discussion of the achievements of the 100th/442d Regimental Combat Team and the role Nisei played in military intelligence. "Crost puts names to deeds as she traces the contribution of Nisei to winning the war in the Pacific." She "brings to life" personal stories of "these unsung military intelligence soldiers."

Crowdy, Terry. The Enemy Within: A History of Espionage. New York and Wellingborough, UK: Osprey, 2006.

Publishers Weekly (via Amazon.com) defines this work as a "survey of espionage from ancient times to America's invasion of Iraq.... [It] is a work of narrative and anecdote rather than analysis, and succeeds within that context."

Peake, Studies 51.3 (2007), finds "little new in the book.... Crowdy uses mostly secondary sources and he pays the usual price: doubtful assertions and unforced errors."
