Constantinides comments that James' "conclusion that Deane was not in the pay of the British while he was serving as a commissioner in France during the American Revolution is supported by most scholars."

James, Malcolm. Born of the Desert: With the SAS in North Africa. London: Greenhill Books. 2001.
From advertisement: "The Special Air Service was formed in 1941 and quickly earned a reputation for stealth, daring and audacity in the Western Desert campaign. This elite force utilized the endless expanse of the desert to carry out surprise attacks and hit and run raids behind the Afrika Korps' lines, sowing confusion, fear and consternation."

According to Constantinides, James' role was "only one small segment of the [Bodyguard] overall deception plan.... Nevertheless,... the fact that the scheme was a rare example of a human decoy operation in support of a strategic deception plan lend[s] the book special interest."

Pforzheimer notes that this is the biography of Britain's Director of Naval Intelligence in World War I by the officer in charge of communications intelligence part of that time. "It includes an interesting description of the exploitation of the Zimmermann telegram." Beesly's Room 40 is "perhaps a more useful study."
Constantinides argues that although "James has written an important book on one of the outstanding figures of intelligence, not all has been revealed.... Friedman and Mendelsohn's research raises questions as to whether James's cryptanalytic account of the Zimmermann note is the full one."

Speaking at a meeting of the National Governors Association on 18 August 2003, Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge told the governors that "his department was taking added steps to make sure they are given all necessary intelligence to respond quickly to a terrorist attack or the threat of one.... Ridge said that in addition to the governors, five senior officials in each state would be given top-secret security clearances to receive classified information, and when the color-coded terror alert changed, governors would get any information federal intelligence agencies have on specific targets."

UAVs have "tremendous potential to carry out missions across the spectrum of combat air operations.... These missions include delivering weapons, transporting cargo, and enabling transformational communications.... This paper focuses on the nature of psychological operations (PSYOP), enabling technologies to employ UAVs for PSYOP, and how this transformation is shaping U.S. Air Force concepts of operations (CONOP) and strategy in the joint battlespace."

When the CIA "posted some job ads on the American Anthropological Association Web site" and then "tried to have those ads appear in the association’s journals, some took them and others turned them down -- amid considerable debate among members. As a result of these discussions, the association has created a special committee that will try to figure out the ethical issues involved with working for national security agencies."

"Intelligence and Counter-Insurgency Operations: Some Reflections on
the British Experience." Intelligence and National Security
2, no. 1 (Jan. 1987): 118-149.
The author identifies two main characteristics of British counterinsurgency operations: they "are for the most part conducted within a climate of legality,[] and they generally comprise a mixture of police and military action." The emphasis on legality means that "intelligence agencies ... work within a relatively restricted environment." In addition, the information needed by the police "is often of a different quality from that which military intelligence officers require for purely operational purposes. This may create strains within the security effort."

Watt, I&NS 9.3, finds this book to be a "short survey of the course of the Second World War as it affected south-eastern Scotland.... Chapter 5 recapitulates in convincing detail the fate of the three Abwehr agents landed in 1941." Jeffrey "uses this episode ... to cover the ... deception operations mounted annually ... from northern Scotland."

Harter, Surveillant 4.2, notes that the focus of the book is criminal investigations. "Readers searching for ... views on the modern FBI's foreign counterintelligence program will be sorely disappointed." The single chapter on the subject "centers on the controversial CISPES and Iran-Contra investigations, not your typical counterintelligence cases."
A second Surveillant 4.2 reviewer concludes that the book is "useful for browsing but hard to read all the way through. And in the end [the author] provides nothing new on the Bureau."
