Khalsa, Sundri. Forecasting Terrorism: Indicators and Proven Analytic Techniques. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow, 2004.

Peake, Studies 50.3 (Sep. 2006) and Intelligencer 15.2 (Fall/Winter 2006-2007), notes that the author, a U.S. Air Force captain "wrote this book while attending the Joint Military Intelligence College and working as a DIA analyst." Khalsa suggests that the "solution to the forecasting problem ... is a structured, computerized methodology, the use of which is the main topic of the book.... [A] CD is provided that illustrates the procedures in the text. The quality of the CD is not good and that does not help when trying to follow the often complicated instructions in the book.... Khalsa has developed an interesting approach to forecasting acts of terror but it needs considerable real-world testing and refinement before its operational value can be assessed."

According to Fischer, Studies 48.2 (2004), this work documents the role of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) "in staving off Hitler's attempt to capture Moscow during October-November 1941.... NKVD paramilitary detachments played a vital, perhaps critical, role in the defense of Moscow by slowing down the Nazi war machine,... and giving ... Gen. Georgy Zhukov[] time to prepare a defense of the Soviet capital while reinforcements arrived from Siberia.... The editors, it seems, have made an honest and well-meaning effort to set the record straight and fill in some blank spots in their country's convoluted history."

The period since the 9/11 attacks has seen "a blurring of the distinction of whether or not military units are conducting covert operations"; this "raises important questions about congressional oversight.... The military's role in unacknowledged operations is an increasingly complex issue and it remain to be seen how Congress will serve the twin goals of protecting the United States from terrorism and ensuring that there is sufficient accountability to the public."

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld "has made no secret of his plans to thrust special forces into the lead role in the war on terrorism, by using them for covert operations around the globe." Expanding the role of U.S. special forces "in the way Rumsfeld intends could be very dangerous for U.S. foreign policy."

Taking the stand at his bond hearing on 24 February 2000, Mariano Faget "admitted he had disclosed government secrets -- but only to save a friend, not to spy for Cuba.... His attempts to minimize his illegal disclosure as an 'error in judgment' didn't convince U.S. Magistrate Barry Garber, who ordered Faget held without bond while he awaits trial."

West, IJI&C 14.3, dismisses completely the author's effort to connect Martin Bormann and the Rote Drei's mysterious sources codenamed Werther, Teddy, Anna, and Olga. The reviewer concludes that "this volume is an example of espionage mythology being exacerbated by an almost pervasive determination to circumvent any contrary evidence."
