"It is now a conventional trope that Vladimir Putin is a mystery. But why he was promoted to a position where he now stands poised to win the presidency of Russia in next Sunday's elections is not a mystery. He is very good, and particularly so in the areas where a modern politician must be. He is a consummate public performer. From its dark bowels the K.G.B. has produced a star, one who speaks of his former institution with proud dignity."

The Guinness Book of Espionage. New York: Da Capo Press, 1994.
Proceedings, Jan. 1995, says that this book is a "collection of spy-related information" which "will appeal to a wide audience of espionage fans."
For Surveillant 4.1, "this is not a book to trust," but it "does have a splendid assortment of historical photographs and drawings."
Kruh, Cryptologia 20.1, finds that this book "provides an enormous amount of information in a relatively small volume." It contains "fascinating details on a wide variety of intelligence subjects."

From advertisement for 2001 edition: The LRDG "became one of the greatest legends of the North African Campaign in World War II. This classic insider's account has been updated and supplemented with rare photographs from the LRDG collection in the Imperial War Museum."
According to Kelly, I&NS 16.1, this account by the unit's fourth and last commanding officer was first published in 1980 and takes the story of the LRDG through its disbanding in June 1945. Because of the absence of references to Ultra, the reviewer suggests that this work be read along with John Gordon, The Other Desert War (1987).

Lockhart, Robert Bruce. Comes the Reckoning. London: Putnam, 1947.
Clark Comment: It is something of a shame that Lockhart wrote this memoir of his four years at the head of the Political Warfare Executive (PWE) so soon after World War II. He was extremely circumspect, supplying little detail of either the overt (propaganda) or covert (deception) side of that organization's activities.
Constantinides notes that "Lockhart devotes most of the book to political commentaries and discussing his contacts." The PWE story is told better in Cruickshank, The Fourth Arm (1977) and Delmer, Black Boomerang (1962).

Surveillant 2.6 calls Ace of Spies a "highly embellished account." According to Constantinides, the biography "adds very little to what was already known.... It is a popular account that lacks documentation.... [H]e included stories about Reilly that can only be described as tall."

Torrey, IJI&C 1.4: "Ace of Spies ... became the benchmark work on Reilly's life ... [but] Robin Lockhart was misled by some of his original sources.... [W]hen he wrote Ace of Spies he lacked vital information.... The portrait of Reilly that emerged ... was incomplete.... [The] latest book ... presents strong evidence that Reilly ... defected to the Soviets."

Journal 3, no. 1 (Spring 1994): 75-88.
The author covers such matters as: the enemy (deception; "the one over which we have the least control"); the analyst ("the frailties, flaws and foibles of human cognition.... 'mirror-imaging'... 'conventional wisdom'... Occam's Razor"); the policymaker ("intelligence analyst must convince the wielder of power"); and the system ("bureaucratic inertia").
