Hugh Hambleton, Spy: Thirty Years with the KGB. Toronto: Methuen, 1983. London: Methuen, 1983.
Milivojevic, I&NS 2.2, finds this to be a "convincing account of how Hambleton was recruited and controlled over a long period of time." Hambleton, a Canadian citizen, spent 10 years in a British prison after his trial in 1982 for espionage in NATO in the 1950s.

Randall W. "Intelligence and Counter-Insurgency in Kenya, 1952-56."
Intelligence and National Security 5, no. 3 (Jul. 1990): 5-83.
The author's findings support his conclusion that "[t]he neglect of Special Branch (and the regular police) before October 1952 contributed directly to the unnecessary delay in bringing about an end to the Mau Mau insurgency, a delay which was a high price to pay for the unpreparedness and complacency of the pre-Emergency period."

According to the report of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, "[e]fforts to tighten security at the Energy Department and its nuclear weapons labs are being resisted by mid-level bureaucrats and a 'culture of arrogance' that has left atomic secrets vulnerable to theft for decades."

The author identifies the number one requirements problem as "the problem of how to formulate needs and priorities in such a way as to facilitate the satisfaction of needs in a degree roughly proportionate to their priorities, through the most effective use of the collection means available."

Heideking, Jürgen,
and Christof Mauch, eds. American Intelligence and the German Resistance to Hitler: A Documentary History. Scranton, PA: Westview, 1996.
With regard to the German-language edition (1993), Frank, WIR 13.6, comments that this compendium is based on 80 original declassified OSS documents. "The authors have done a superior job in using footnotes to identify persons and events referred to in the OSS reports.... Perhaps the most serious shortcoming ... is the authors' failure to give Donovan credit for doing what he could.... [The book's] unbiased presentation of the facts makes it a significant contribution to World War II intelligence literature."
Surveillant 4.4/5 notes that the documents included here describe the extent of U.S. knowledge of German resistance to Hitler, U.S. reactions to peace feelers from resistance groups, and OSS psychological operations to undermine German morale. Powers, NYRB, 9 Jan. 1997, found the documents included here to be "extremely useful."

The architects of the National Security Act of 1947 "would, I believe, be greatly surprised, perhaps even incensed, by today's neglect of strategic intelligence in the Intelligence Community. Strategic intelligence collection and analysis is a capability they took pains to preserve; we are perilously close to losing it."

"How did the British under Gen. Charles Cornwallis become trapped in this small port at a bend in the York River?... The bulk of the American army arrived before Cornwallis was aware that the Americans were moving. His intelligence failed him.... As a defendable site Yorktown paled in comparison to others locally available. Also, Cornwallis received intelligence too late on the movement of the large Continental Army. With better information, he might have escaped defeat."
