Frankel, Glenn. "Britain's Iraq Data Deemed 'Flawed': Blair Didn't Distort Facts, Inquiry Finds." Washington Post, 15 Jul. 2004, A1. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]

The report from an official inquiry by a special five-person panel chaired by former cabinet secretary Robin Butler, issued on 14 July 2004, found that "key portions of British intelligence claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction were 'seriously flawed' and 'open to doubt,' but it found no evidence that Prime Minister Tony Blair's government had deliberately distorted the evidence or misled the public in making the case for war." The report "specifically stated that John Scarlett, who chaired the [Joint Intelligence Committee] that issued the 2002 dossier, should be allowed to take up his new post as the head of MI6 next month."

A House of Commons report released on 11 September 2003 concludes "that an intelligence dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction that the government published a year ago had been potentially misleading in several key points. But the panel cleared [Prime Minister Tony] Blair's office of claims it had purposely exaggerated intelligence claims to justify military action."

1. High Noon in the Cold War: Kennedy, Khrushchev and the Cuban Missile Crisis. New York: Ballantine, 2004.

Holbrooke, NYT, 15 Oct. 2004, finds that "[f]or those too young to remember the only direct nuclear confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union," the author's "short and graceful account" of the Cuban Missile Crisis "is an excellent introduction to a vital part of our recent past. For those already steeped in missile crisis lore, Mr. Frankel offers new insights based on his personal memories and newly available archives."

To Nigro, Parameters 35.3 (Autumn 2005), the author "tells the story of the 14-day crisis clearly and concisely.... [He also] does a good job of setting the crisis within its broader diplomatic context.... Unfortunately, after giving us an able narrative of the affair, Frankel comes to the surprising and unorthodox conclusion that the crisis was never really all that close to resulting in nuclear war between the rival superpowers."

"In hindsight, I think two common views need correction. It is clear now that Nikita Khrushchev provoked America not from a position of strength, as Kennedy first feared, but from a chronic sense of weakness and frustration. And it is also clear from the historical record that the two superpowers were never as close to nuclear war as they urgently insisted in public."

Fraser, Andrew. "Architecture of a Broken Dream: The CIA and Guatemala, 1952-54." Intelligence and National Security 20, no. 3 (Sep. 2005): 486-508.

The author tries hard to find something new to say about the 1954 overthrow of Arbenz. He does offer some interesting tid bits. Fraser concludes quickly that United Fruit Company "was not a significant factor in the decision to topple Arbenz." That decision "was motivated by American strategic interests" -- i.e., a fear of a Communist regime on the U.S. doorstep. Fraser believes success came only when the Guatemalan military abandoned Arbenz.
