For Pforzheimer, this is an "interesting look at the U.S. intelligence effort to find and exploit German scientists and technicians as World War II drew to an end and immediately thereafter."
Constantinides points out that "this is largely a treatment of the overt side of the story. The covert or intelligence side needs to be researched to produce a fuller picture of the total effort."

Marc Rich, the fugitive commodities trader pardoned by President Clinton, "lived a double life during his 20 years as a fugitive, funneling secret data to Israeli and other intelligence services about some unsavory governments.... [D]etails about Rich's ultimate high-wire act as a spy for Israel and other countries were provided to The Post as congressional committees prepare to hold hearings into former President Bill Clinton's controversial decision to pardon" Rich.

Lathrop, Charles E. [Pseud., Nicholas Dujmovic], comp. and annotator. The Literary Spy: The Ultimate Source Book for Quotations on Espionage and Intelligence. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2004.
For Goulden, Washington Times, 31 Oct. 2004, this is "[a]n absolutely delightful browse-read." The author has "put together more than 3,000 quotations from sources ranging from the Bible to spy novels, the media and declassified government documents -- a book that is at once a serious source text and plain old fun."
Peake, Studies 48.4 (2004), notes that the entries are presented in "65 categories arranged by topic and chronological order. Each category is preceded by short, crisp, often quotable commentary that reflects the inclusion criterion applied.... [R]eading The Literary Spy will be both fun and informative."
To Kruh, Cryptologia 29.2 (Apr. 2005), this "is a fascinating book that meets the needs of both the serious researcher and the armchair spy seeking entertainment."

Clayton D. The Propaganda Warriors: America's Crusade Against Nazi Germany. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 1996.
Hoffman, FA 75.5, notes that the author "focuses on the difficulties and rivalries that plagued the agencies that were put in charge" of U.S. efforts to combat Nazi propaganda with a matching propaganda campaign. These agencies included the OSS' Moral Operations Branch, the Army's Psychological Warfare Division, and the Office of War Information (OWI). Laurie "concludes that the 'winning weapon in psychological warfare' was finally developed by the Army,... [b]ut there is no attempt here to provide evidence regarding the success of all these policies."
