Johnson, Brian. The Secret War. New York: Methuen, 1978. London: BBC Publications, 1978.
According to Constantinides, this book is based on a BBC television series. This account of "scientific, technical, and cryptologic" aspects of World War II presents a "wider perspective" than R.V. Jones' The Wizard War.
Sexton calls The Secret War a "detailed and richly illustrated history of the scientific side of World War II." Similarly, Nautical Brass Bibliography gives this "profusely illustrated" book a "highly recommended" notation.

Johnson, Carrie. "Man, 84, Is Charged With Spying for Israel in 1980s." Washington Post, 23 Apr. 2008, A4. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]
According to the criminal complaint filed by the FBI on 22 April 2008, Ben-Ami Kadish worked at the U.S. Army's research arsenal in Dover, NJ, in the early 1980s and "routinely checked classified documents out of a library there," passing "them to an unnamed Israeli official who had provided a list of what he wanted." Although unnamed in the criminal complaint, Kadish's Israeli handler "has been named in Israeli publications and by a former prosecutor as Yosef Yagur," who "worked as an adviser on science affairs at the Israeli Consulate in New York. Yagur left the United States in November 1985, shortly after Pollard was charged with espionage-related offenses, and has never returned."

An Instance of Treason: Ozaki Hotsumi and the Sorge Spy Ring. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1964. Expanded ed. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1990. [pb]
Surveillant 1.1 notes that the expanded edition of Johnson's 1964 book includes new information on this World War II Soviet spy ring.
According to Boyd, I&NS 6.4, this edition includes much new evidence that has come to light since the original work. Johnson has produced "a scholarly, in-depth analysis of Ozaki, Sorge, and their place in the history of international espionage.... This is a remarkably sophisticated piece of scholarship."

1964. London: Hutchinson, 1965.
Constantinides: "Along with other Cuban exiles, the four commanders of the brigade ... told their portion of the story to Johnson.... [He] devoted much less attention to the story of the operation from inside the U.S. government and especially CIA.... Johnson put more faith in the reliability and objectivity of the Castro government's published versions than experience with such regimes would seem to warrant."
In a contemporary review, Kirkpatrick, Studies 8.4 (Fall 1964), says that this book "is well done, and a reasonable book about a disaster.... [It] is especially good, and probably quite accurate, about the efforts made to free the prisoners and their eventual release. It is weak and sketchy, for obvious reasons, about the planning and execution of the operation from the U.S. viewpoint."

Maertens, IJI&C 1.2: "Johnson thinks the aircraft was on an intelligence mission for the U.S. government ... [and is] determined not to let facts or logic get in the way of his theory." The reviewer "counted 105 factual or technical errors ... in the first chapter alone." The book is "based on misinformation and unsupported assertion" and shows "ideological biases." The author has "manipulated and distorted the evidence beyond recognition."

Kelly, I&NS 21.6 (Dec. 2006), notes the author's "impressive research in the pertinent archives." Johnson shows "how British India built up its intelligence network ... beyond the frontiers" with "listening posts."
For Peake, Studies 51.2 (2007), the author demonstrates that "by the end of the 19th century, British military intelligence in India had become a professional service that did more than monitor the northern frontier. It also maintained India's domestic security through collaboration with the local Indian police."

"[S]ignals intelligence did not provide any direct information about the Soviet introduction of offensive ballistic missiles into Cuba. However, in the more than two years before that fact was known, SIGINT analysts thoroughly studied the Cuban military buildup. Once the offensive missiles were discovered, SIGINT provided direct support for day-to-day management of the crisis."
