Gimson, Andrew. "Spy Book Backfires on Bonn 'Bunglers.'" Electronic Telegraph, 15 Jul. 1997. [http://www.telegraph.co.uk]

A book by Udo Ulfkotte, a journalist with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, which was "designed to boost the standing of Germany's secret service has instead shown up its spies as a bunch of incompetents.... Ulfkotte ... was given unprecedented access to Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND) files ... [b]ut far from enhancing the service's reputation, Mr Ulfkotte has confirmed its incompetence.... The book will be all the harder for the German authorities to deal with because it is written in a friendly and innocent tone."

Girvin, Brian. The Emergency: Neutral Ireland 1939-45. London: Pan Macmillan, 2006.

From publisher: The author shows how Eamon de Valera's neutrality "policy went against the national interest, and far from being the only option for the Government, was simply the only one they would consider. This decision, Girvin concludes, cost de Valera his ultimate prize: a united Ireland."

Girvin, Brian, and Geoffrey Roberts, eds. Ireland and the Second World War: Politics, Society and Remembrance. Dublin: Four Courts, 2000.

From publisher: "This volume of essays ... explores the Irish contribution to the Allied cause, in particular the role and experience of Irish men and women who served in the British armed forces.... The history of Northern Ireland during the war is covered, as are aspects of the post-war historiography of Irish involvement in the Allied struggle."

Pforzheimer notes that the author headed the Abwehr's counterintelligence branch in Holland. He tells here the story of a German radio-playback and deception operation based on the capture of a Dutch officer parachuted by SOE into Holland. The operation ran undetected for two years and was used to capture 54 other agents and arms and materials dropped for the Dutch Resistance.

For Constantinides, Giskes' version "of the means and imagination employed to win this intelligence victory still stands as the accurate and intriguing account from the German side."
