"With few other intelligence sources relating to North Korea available, SIGINT proved vital to the U.S. military efforts in the first months and throughout the war."
Kruh, Cryptologia 28.2, finds that "[t]his relatively small [18 pages] publication is packed with a lot of information."

Mark. "Agent Reveals Young Putin's Spy Disaster." Sunday Times
(London), 19 Mar. 2000. [http://www.the-times.co.uk]
Klaus Zuchold, a Stasi agent recruited by Vladimir Putin, has told The Sunday Times that "he and Putin had met secretly several times between 1985 and 1990, when both were posted in Dresden." Zuchold turned himself in to German intelligence soon after reunification, "supplied the Germans with a detailed description of Putin," and "revealed the names of four former East German policemen who had spied for the KGB for years."

"'Putin is tough, decisive and never thinks twice about carrying out orders,' said one senior former intelligence officer. 'You can be sure that he will use all his KGB contacts to dig up as much dirt on Yeltsin's opponents as possible. If he fails, Yeltsin will just sack him.'"

" A former KGB agent controlled by Vladimir Putin in the former East Germany during the mid-1980s has spoken for the first time about the Russian president's work as a young spy. He was so exasperated by Putin's inexperience that he almost left the agency. 'Agent M', a former East German criminal police inspector who specialised in undercover work, had been with the KGB for 10 years when he first met Putin in 1985 at a flat in Dresden. His first impressions were far from favourable."

White, IJI&C 12.2, notes that the author was "a cryptanalyst with the (Morse Code) Detachment A of 3rd Radio Squadron Mobile (G) [German]. This unit operated as an intercept and intelligence service working on German Luftwaffe voice and wireless telegraph (W/T) communications.... Code to Victory provides a much-appreciated look at the U.S. Army's intercept work in the European Theater."
According to Kruh, Cryptologia 24.1, the 3rd RSM was assigned to the 9th Air Force. The author "describes his work" and produces "a fascinating volume od reminiscences that evokes the realities of war."

Francona, Rick.
Ally to Adversary: An Eyewitness Account of Iraq's Fall from Grace.
Annapolis, MD: U.S. Naval Institute Press, 1999.
From advertisement: The author is "a Gulf war veteran and retired intelligence officer. The book provides an insider's perspective of the foreign policy implications of our cooperative relationship with Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war and how that relationship later deteriorated into Desert Storm. The author traveled extensively through Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, later served as Gen. Schwarzkopf's Arabic interpreter during Desert Shield/Storm, and then became a principal author for DoD's after-action report to Congress on the conduct of the Gulf war."
According to Loeb, "Back Channels," Washington Post, 13 Nov. 2000, 25, Francona was a member of the CIA team that rescued the family of former Iraqi nuclear weapons scientist Khidhir Hamza from northern Iraq in 1995.
Jonkers, AFIO WIN 34-99, 27 Aug. 1999, comments that Francona writes in a forthright and very readable fashion, weaving in anecdotes with policy perspectives and situation descriptions. His book contributes to understanding a recent past that is relevant to the present and future. Highly recommended reading."
