"The obstacles to the SSGN [converted Ohio-class SSBNs] living up to its advertised capability for SOF operations include material, operational, and training.... The advanced SEAL delivery system is the biggest question mark for the SSGN program, because it is esstential to the submarine's SOF capability."

Fedorovich. In Confidence: Moscow's Ambassador to America's Six Cold
War Presidents. New York: Random House, 1995. [pb] 1997.
Surveillant 4.4/5 notes that a six-page section (beginning on page 352), entitled "Intelligence Wars," discusses Dobrynin's interaction with the GRU and KGB.
Kaiser, WPNWE, 25 Sep.-1 Oct. 1995, says that "when he sticks to the subjects he really knows, Dobrynin is a fine analyst and a wonderful raconteur. He has left a record of his life and his times that will enrich Cold War history for as long as anyone cares to read about it."

This article is an excerpt from the memoirs of Vladimir Semichastny who headed the KGB from 1961 to 1967. Semichastny discusses the Penkovsky case, essentially downplaying its significance to the Soviet state or to world affairs.

To Jenkins, I&NS 3.1, this book offers "an unpretentious account of major terrorist movements of the [previous] two decades.... Of course, the book strays into too many familiar tales...; but as a quick reference, it is very good."

Dockrill, Saki.
Eisenhower's New-Look National Security Policy, 1953-61. London:
Macmillan, 1996.
The I&NS 12.3 reviewer, W. Scott Lucas, appears to belong to the re-revisionist school with regard to President Eisenhower. That is, no longer the passive Eisenhower of the pre-Ambrose days, but also something less than Ambrose's vision of Eisenhower the master strategist. Writing from that point of view, Lucas finds that "Dockrill's attempt to re-evaluate the meaning of the 'New Look' is commendable but, in the end, it becomes yet another ritual, highly selective account of US foreign and military policy." In particular, Lucas is displeased with what he sees as the author's failure to give covert operations pride of place in evaluating the Eisenhower years.
