Banlaoi, I&NS 19.4 (Winter 2004), says this work, with its "eleven well-written papers on Asia Pacific terrorism," is "an excellent piece of literature that elevates the ... region to the mainstream of international terrorism discourse.... The strength of the book lies in the mix of insights and perspectives articulated by the various contributors who are well-known authorities on the subject."

1. "The Iraqi Opposition and the Failure of U.S. Intelligence." International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 12, no. 2 (Summer 1999): 135-167.
The author covers U.S. efforts against Saddam Hussein into late 1998, but the focus is on the 1994-1996 period when the CIA's operation based on the Kurdish opposition was at its height. Gunter is not optimistic about the potential success of future efforts to use opposition groups to overthrow the Iraqi leader.

Hugo. "Dirty Tricks II: How Moscow Faked CIA Plot to Kill Kennedy."
Electronic Telegraph, 13 Sep. 1999. [http://www.telegraph.co.uk]
According to the upcoming book by Vasily Mitrokhin and Christopher Andrew, "[t]he KGB forged a letter purporting to be from Lee Harvey Oswald and leaked it to unwitting conspiracy theorists to spread the idea that the CIA was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy." The KGB also targeted Martin Luther King, planting "unfavourable articles in African newspapers in the hope that more radical black Americans would take his place."

Across the Lines: Axis Intelligence and Sabotage Operations in Italy,
1943-1945. Tunbridge Wells: Parapress, Ltd., 1994.
Dovey, I&NS 10.3: The author "is well suited to his subject. His experience in GSI(b) at Allied Headquarters in Italy familiarized him with the enemy and Allied organizations.... By 1944 the Abwehr was recruiting and training agents while the Sicherheitsdienst was mounting sabotage operations.... As the campaign progressed the Germans did not rely solely on line-crossers. They also made use of stay-behind agents equipped with radio transmitters.... The Special Counter-Intelligence Units were sometimes able to turn agents round and use them to penetrate the German organizations." The book's substantive errors "are relatively minor," but "there are no notes to link the text to the sources." Nevertheless, the book is welcome as "a much-needed reminder of the scale of the Intelligence war in Italy and a tribute to the Allied security machine -- well-organized, well-led and outstandingly successful."

Gustafson, Kristian. Hostile Intent: U.S. Covert Operations in Chile, 1964-1974. Dulles, VA: Potomac, 2007.
Goulden, Washington Times, 24 Feb. 2008, welcomes this "dispassionate study" of a subject that still garners strong debate. The author "tells a far more complex story than anti-CIA zealots would have us believe.... [I]f one cares to look beyond polemics, here is a good starting point."
For Feinberg, FA 87.3 (May-Jun. 2008), this is a "provocative contribution" that "makes good use of newly declassified U.S. government documents, fresh interviews, and Chilean accounts to reexamine the intent, efficacy, and impact of U.S. interventions in Chile."
Peake, AFIO WIN 30-08 (4 Aug. 2008), concludes that this work "makes a robust case that the conventional wisdom concerning the CIA and the Chilean coup must be significantly modified. While it is not likely to convince the true believer conspiracy theorist, its well reasoned firmly supported position is unlikely to be eroded by the historical sands of time."

Gustafson, Kristian C. "Reexamining the Record: CIA Machinations in Chile in 1970." Studies in Intelligence 47, no. 3 (2003): 35-49.
The focus here is "on CIA covert action during the six weeks following Allende’s victory at the polls in mid-September 1970." Following Allende's election, "President Richard Nixon delivered a clear and forceful Directive calling for expanded CIA operations in Chile. In the weeks between Allende’s election and his inauguration planned for 3 November, the CIA actively sought to foment a coup in Chile.... [C]overt operations to encourage a regime change by indirect means ... continued for several more years."

According to Van Nederveen, Air & Space Power Journal 21.2 (Summer 2007), this work "examines efforts to reform the intelligence community dating back to World War II.... [T]he author provides a useful service to anyone attempting to gather information about what transpired in the House and Senate Intelligence Committees" in the "turbulent years" following "the collapse of the Soviet Union.... [T]the text suffers from ... too many quotations, poor layout, and wordiness that makes it difficult for the reader to follow the author’s key points. Nevertheless, these flaws should in no way stop the intelligence professional, historian, or political scientist from studying the data therein. The Intelligence Archipelago is a gold mine of information."

Game." Time, 25 Jan. 1999, 48.
Clark comment: If you can get beyond the the silly (and incorrect) title (there are plenty of games in which there have been more deaths than the spy business), this article is about the growth of the use of open source intelligence in the business world.
"[T]he World Wide Web has given birth to a whole industry of point-and-click spying. The spooks call it 'open-source intelligence,' and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential.... Among the firms making the biggest splash in this new world is Stratfor, Inc., a private intelligence-analysis firm based in Austin, Texas. Stratfor makes money by selling the results of its sleuthing (covering nations from China to Chile) to corporations like energy-services firm McDermott International. Many of its predictions are available online at www.stratfor.com."

Constantinides: "Strictly speaking, Gylden has recounted the history of military cryptology, not the broader field the title implies. Much of what he writes is from the French, Austrian, and German experiences.... There is nothing on British accomplishments in military cryptology." Nevertheless, experts in the field give the book high marks.
