Hong Kong "became a very important location for American intelligence operations and propaganda policy in Asia.... [S]ome of the American Consulate's activities ... at this time put a strain on the Anglo-American relationship."

Lomperis, Timothy. From People's War to People's Rule: Insurgency, Intervention and the Lessons of Vietnam. Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1996.
Berger, et al, I&NS 22.6 (Dec. 2007), see the author sliding "too easily from one time in place in history to another." He "explains the Vietnam War as a crisis of political legitimacy," but his "argument lacks depth and the centrality of political legitimacy is hardly a new insight." Overall, "Lomperis raises more questions than he answers."

Lonergan, Steve C., ed. Environmental Change, Adaptation, and Security. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Press, 1999.
Dalby, Environmental Change and Security Report 6 (Summer 2000), notes that this volume "contains the proceedings" of a "NATO advanced research workshop ... held in Budapest in October 1997.... The decision to print the entire set of papers makes for an uneven collection of styles, approaches, and academic quality.... There are very diverse views in these pages and a variety of different perspectives on what counts as both security and environment."

Lonsdale,
Gordon [Konon Molody]. Spy: Memoirs of Gordon Lonsdale. London: Spearman, 1965. London: Mayflower-Dell, 1965. [pb] Spy: Twenty Years in Soviet Secret Service. New York: Hawthorne Books, 1965.
Clark comment: In this piece of heavy-handed Soviet propaganda, suggested by some to have been ghosted by Kim Philby, the Soviet illegal recounts what he wants the reader to believe is his career from early days through his release from a British prison in 1964 in exchange for Greville Wynne.
Pforzheimer says the work "is unreliable," because it was "written purely for Soviet propaganda and disinformation purposes." Constantinides sounds the same theme, dismissing the book as "very unreliable" and "without redeeming qualities."
For Halebian, Studies 9.4 (Fall 1965), Lonsdale's memoirs "are clearly designed as a deception operation. Their accounts of his Canadian birth, a childhood spent in Poland, and intelligence work with Colonal Abel in the United States before going to the United Kingdom are, from evidence on hand, complete fabrications."

Looney, Robert E. "DARPA's Policy Analysis Market for Intelligence: Outside the Box or Off the Wall?" Strategic Insights 2, no. 9 (Sep. 2003). [http://www.ccc.nps.navy.mil/si/sept03/terrorism.asp] International Journal of Intelligence
and Counterintelligence 17, no. 3 (Fall 2004): 405-419.
In July 2003, DARPA "backed off a plan to set up a kind of futures market, a Policy Analysis Market (PAM), that would allow investors to earn profits by betting on the likelihood of such events as regime changes in the Middle East.... The project was canceled a day after it was announced." Although "DARPA may have put too much faith in a theory that is being increasingly questioned in the economics profession," the idea "did break new ground in Washington's search for better intelligence." The author suggests that "some version of the program will likely be introduced on a restricted basis."

Lord, Carnes.
The Presidency and the Management of National Security. New York:
Free Press, 1988.
According to Valcourt, IJI&C 3:2, the author argues that political appointeees end up being coopted into the agendas of the bureaucrats. He also agrees generally with Menges that Schultz' and Haig's tendency to staff their top jobs with State Department careerists rather than Reagan-style political appointees was a major problem. This is a "valuable treatise on the current status of the" NSC.

John. Duty, Honor, Empire: The Life and Times of Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen. New York: Random House, 1970.
In the opinion of Constantinides, the author "could have developed Meinertzhagen's intelligence work more fully." That work was performed with the British in Africa and the Middle East before and during World War I. The biography's subject is best known for the "Meinertzhagen satchel ploy" employed in Allenby's Palestine campaign.

Lord, Walter.
Lonely Vigil: Coastwatchers of the Solomons. New York, Viking, 1977. New York: Pocket Books, 1978. [pb]
According to Pforzheimer, the Coastwatchers were "mostly Australians who had worked in the islands before the war, as well as trusted native helpers." This activity, which involved reporting on Japanese ship and aircraft movements, was a unique intelligence operation which "performed an integral part in the battle for Guadalcanal and the other Solomon Islands." The book includes a chapter on the rescue of John F. Kennedy and his crew after the sinking of PT 109.
Constantinides says the book is more oriented to the historian than to those with intelligence interests.
