From advertisement: "Fane, commander of Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) One for 13 years, is credited with contributing more to the development of UDT operations and civilian SCUBA than anyone in the United States. In this long-awaited update of his classic blow-by-blow account of UDT operations in World War II and Korea he offers first-hand information and photographs never before available as well as a new chapter that continues the UDT story after the original book's 1956 publication."

Post, 11 Mar. 1999, A26. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
"During the 1960s, the United States was intimately involved in equipping and training Guatemalan security forces that murdered thousands of civilians in the nation's civil war, according to newly declassified U.S. intelligence documents [obtained by the National Security Archive, a private nonprofit group in Washington]. The documents show, moreover, that the CIA retained close ties to the Guatemalan army in the 1980s, when the army and its paramilitary allies were massacring Indian villagers, and that U.S. officials were aware of the killings at the time."

For Most Atrocities." Washington Post, 26 Feb. 1999, A19. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
A report by Guatemala's independent Historical Clarification Commission, released on 25 February 1999, "accused the U.S.-backed military ... of responsibility for the vast majority" of the human rights abuses during Guatemala's long-running civil war.
"Unlike the government of El Salvador (and the contra rebels in Nicaragua), the Guatemalan army did not receive large-scale aid from Washington; still, the commission found that the 'government of the United States, through various agencies including the CIA, provided direct and indirect support for some state operations.'"

"For years Colombian Gen. Ivan Ramirez Quintero was a key intelligence source for the United States. After training in Washington he was the first head of a military intelligence organization designed by U.S. experts to fight Marxist guerrillas and drug traffickers, and served as a liaison and paid informant for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to U.S. and Colombian intelligence sources.
"But during many of the years he was funneling information to the CIA, according to U.S. and Colombian intelligence officials, Ramirez, now the army's third in command, maintained close ties to right-wing paramilitary groups who finance much of their activities through drug trafficking."
A follow-up story by Douglas Farah, "Colombian Official Denies CIA Link; Resigning General Says He Was Not a Paid Informant," Washington Post, 12 Aug. 1998, A20, quotes General Quintero as denying that he was a paid CIA informant. "In a telephone call to The Washington Post, and in a radio interview broadcast in Bogota,... Ramirez described as 'defamatory' a Post story linking him to the paramilitary organizations while on the CIA's payroll in the late 1980s and early 1990s."

Ajami, Washington Post, 28 Nov. 2004, notes that the author "believes he has located the anti-Americanism in the lands of Islam, and that we would have fared much better in the intervening years had we taken political Islam 'seriously,' had we recognized it as a 'force in the world.' This is quite a stretch."

According to May, Air & Space Power Journal 20.1 (Spring 2006), the author "maintains that limitations in US reconnaissance capabilities shaped war planning immediately following World War II. Since the Air Staff was unable to collect sufficient targeting information due to limited strategic reconnaissance, emergency war plans called for dropping atomic bombs on Soviet urban centers." This is "a wonderfully thought-provoking book."

"A British colonel was bribed with 30lb of gold to hand over three White Russian generals to Soviet Intelligence in 1945, according to files supplied by the KGB defector Vasili Mitrokhin. The revelation will reopen the controversy over one of the most contentious episodes of the Second World War in which the British Army repatriated 70,000 Cossacks, dissidents and their families from Austria back to Stalin's Soviet Union against their will."

Available samples of Communist bloc agent radios "range from crude, handmade, manually keyed transmitters to top-quality production-line automatic high-speed equipment... There is ... a real technical cleavage between the Eastern [Chinese, North Korean, and North Vietnamese] and Western Communist services corresponding to the discrepancy between the respective national technologies." Among the Europen Communist countries, "Bulgarian and to a degree Polish agent radios ... show an almost elementary approach to design and a handmade qualiy in thier fabrication."
