NameBase describes the book as focusing on several Canadian intelligence stories: "World War II hero Sir William Stephenson (debunked by the authors), defector Igor Gouzenko, Soviet spy Hugh Hambleton, deep-cover illegal Rudolph Herrmann, and victims of Canadian cold-war paranoia such as Leslie Bennett. Other chapters deal with the separatist movement (which was supported by Charles de Gaulle and private interests in France), 'techno-espionage' (Soviet attempts to acquire technology), and the terrorist threat."
For Surveillant 1.2, Spy Wars is a "well-documented survey, by two military historians." Similarly, Whitaker, I&NS 7.2, finds the book "well-written and accessible to the general reader," with what seems to be "reasonably solid" research that has been undermined by the publisher's decision to omit all references.

Cohen, FA 81.3, finds that the tone of "this edited and translated collection of Russian general staff studies ... is clinical, professional, and technical." However, "the book frequently glosses over the brutality of the Soviet occupation and the disintegrating morale of the soldiers stationed there. The editors' view of the importance of military technology borders on the dismissive and misses a basic point: the Soviets had both inadequate technology and deeply demoralized troops, two factors that contributed to their campaign's failure."

"The Latin tendency to express the most nebulous of ideas in an extremely positive fashion and describe dreams as if they were reality makes it difficult for the analyst ... to assess an unexpected report."

On 13 September 1999, former Member of Parliament Raymond Fletcher's widow, Catherine, "insisted her husband had never spied for the KGB but had worked for MI6. She conceded he did meet a Soviet colonel regularly in the Sixties to discuss military history before being advised against this by Harold Wilson.... She said MI6 had once asked him secretly to meet Alexander Dubcek, the former Czech leader, to pass on a message."

"Although they enjoy peace abroad and relative tranquillity at home, Canadians have come to wonder recently whether the guardians of that peace and tranquillity are really up to the job.
"When you get right down to it, can you have a lot of faith in an intelligence agency when one of its senior officers takes top-secret documents on holiday and leaves them in the boot of her car while she is at a hockey game?
"And what do you make of the same intelligence service when another senior officer leaves an uncoded computer disk containing the names of confidential informants and contacts in a telephone booth?
"And then there was the undercover Mountie who left his service revolver and a mass of information about undercover operations -- including the names, addresses and telephone numbers of other undercover Mounties -- in the boot of his car."

Scientific and technical intelligence officers believe that an "early tip-off on future military systems can be found in appropriate aspects of selected R&D efforts, so that intelligence on adversary R&D can give our own planners and policy makers valuable lead time." The author uses the example of the development of Soviet pulse power tube technology.
