"[P]overty is not a major or direct cause of terrorism, and ... eliminating poverty will not eliminate terrorism.... [While] the United States should and must work to eliminate poverty in the world[,]... U.S. policymakers and citizens should not fool themselves that reducing poverty will eliminate terrorism."

Lance, Peter. Cover Up: What the Government Is Still Hiding about the War on Terror. New York: Regan Books, HarperCollins, 2004.
Peake, Studies 49.1 (2005), comments that this book "is speculation mixed with sour grapes until real evidence is produced."

1. 1000 Years for Revenge: International Terrorism and the FBI -- The Untold Story. New York: HarperCollins, 2004.
According to Peake, Studies 48.3 (2004), the author "finds widespread fault and is pessimistic about improvements, even from the congressional commissions."
2. Triple Cross: How Bin Laden's Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets, and the FBI -- and Why Patrick Fitzgerald Failed to Stop Him. New York: Regan, 2006.
Peake, Studies 51.2 (2007), notes that this work continues the author's story of Ali Mohammed (begun in 1000 Years for Revenge). He also provides other, new "dots"; the problem is that "it is by no means clear how they connect."

The Enemy Within: The Inside Story of German Sabotage in America.
New York: Putnam's, 1937.
Constantinides: Landau headed the Military Division of the British secret service in Holland from 1916. After the war, he investigated "claims by Americans against the German government for damages done in the United States by acts of sabotage prior to" the U.S. entry into the war. The first part of the book is "a brief history of German sabotage and intelligence activities both before and after the U.S. entry into the war." The second part focuses on the claims and associated litigation.

This article by the former Director General of the UK Security Service "has been adapted from a speech presented in October 2003 as the fifth annual Harry Hinsley Lecture at St John's College, University of Cambridge."
From "Abstract" [http://journalsonline.tandf.co.uk]: "I believe that the threats faced by the West are such that a step change in multilateral cooperation is necessary, at least on those issues of collective security where all are affected by the same threats.... [The situation] argues, I suggest, for a new UKUSA Treaty involving not just sigint, nor just the Five Eyes allies, but also the key European players. The foresight of those nearly sixty years ago ... who negotiated the UKUSA Agreement has served the UK well. Perhaps the time has come for a new treaty for a new century."

Mayes, www.milmag.com, finds that the authors "rehash[] the theory that Roosevelt allowed" the Japanese attack to happen, but their "research is virtually nonexistent.... The text suffers significantly from poor editing, with grammatical, format and contextual errors detracting from both credibility and readability.... This book cannot be taken seriously by those interested in the Pearl Harbor attack."
