From publisher: This work "describes how the OSS aided the Communist-led Partisans in an attempt to weaken the Nazi cause in Albania and neighboring Italy.... Firsthand interviews with still-living participants and extensive onsite research make this book a unique resource."

Pinck, OSS Society Newsletter (Spring 2007), notes that the author focuses "on the adventures of a small number of young OSS representatives, many of whom were of Albanian descent."

The Indiana Senator (R) argues in this Op-Ed piece that "[t]his could well be one of the most serious security breaches in the nation's history.... [T]he CIA's former counterintelligence chief has labeled [these actions] 'far more damaging to the national security than Aldrich Ames.'"

The problem of accurately predicting hostile actions against our nation."will plague the newly formed Department of Homeland Security." What is needed is to develop a new Indications & Warning (I&W) "analytical cell that supports the president and the Department of Homeland Security with all-source intelligence analysis."

Lukacs, John. June 1941: Hitler and Stalin. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press.

Murphy, Periscope (Summer 2006), has some problems with this book. For example, the reviewer comments that some aspects of the author's "treatment of Stalin's actions and beliefs relative to the 1939 nonaggression pact [with Germnay] seem farfetched." In addition, Lukacs shows an "unfamiliarity with major intelligence issues"; and his "version of historical events ... is sometimes difficult to accept."

1. "The Birth of a Police State: The Czechoslovak Ministry of the Interior, 1945-48." Intelligence and National Security 11, no. 1 (Jan. 1996): 78-88.

The author argues two points: "First, Czechoslovak Communists did much of the work typically ascribed to the Kremlin by themselves"; and, second, "the West played a confusing role in the post-war Czechoslovak crisis."

2. "The Czechoslovak Intelligence Service and Western Reactions to the Communist Coup d'Etat of February 1948." Intelligence and National Security 8, no. 4 (Oct. 1993): 73-85.

This article focuses primarily on the French and is keyed to a specific document: "[R]eport from the Ministry of the Interior's intelligence service to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

3. "The GPU and GRU in Pre-World War II Czechoslovakia." International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 8, no. 1 (Spring 1995): 91-104.

The author presents some 1923 Soviet documents dealing with the organization of the GPU and the GRU. The documents were collected by the Third Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was "active and successful in gathering offensive intelligence abroad" and which was headed by Jan Hajek.

From abstract: "This article discusses the activities of four Czechoslovak security and intelligence agencies to demonstrate that the scale of the U.S. failure in Prague in 1945-1948 was far greater than often assumed, especially if one considers the substandard size and quality of Czechoslovakia's Communist-dominated special services after the war."

Bridges, H-Diplo, 27 Jun. 2007 [http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~hpcws/journalforum.htm], notes that the author "makes clear the ineptitude of the American military intelligence officers in the Prague embassy.... One wonders whether the failure of the military intelligence people may have been due to their lack of training in clandestine work." The reviewer also expresses his "doubt that any other American has done as much research as Lukes has in both prewar and postwar Czechoslovak archives."

For Smula, H-Diplo, 27 Jun. 2007 [http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~hpcws/journalforum.htm], Lukes' overview "is especially useful to those unable to read Czech, who are getting for the first time a comprehensive, and at times colourful, look inside the intelligence services during the immediate postwar years." However, "a more systematic examination of the reasons behind the American failure would have benefited the article."

Lum, Zachary. "COMINT Goes to Cell Hell." Journal of Electronic Defense, Jun. 1998, 35-41ff.

"Wireless communications may soon achieve everyday household status, worldwide. For the communications-intelligence (COMINT) trade, this could be one of the greatest boons born[] of the commercial telecommunications revolution. Or it could be one of the greatest banes. Or it could be both. Opinion seems to vary from expert to expert."

Lum, Zachary. "The Measure of MASINT." Journal of Electronic Defense, August 1998, 43-48.

The author suggests that U.S. intelligence is about technical intelligence and that MASINT may soon become the leading source of technical intelligence for U.S. commanders. The DIA's Central MASINT Office (CMO) is extensively quoted.

Lumpkin, Beverley. "Homeland Intelligence Chief Lists Risks." Associated Press, 30 Dec. 2006. [http://www.washingtonpost.com]

"After 47 years spent gathering and analyzing foreign intelligence at the CIA, Charles Allen is facing perhaps his biggest career challenge in developing a homeland intelligence capability. He now must gain the respect of the U.S. intelligence community for the Homeland Security Department, where he has spent just over a year as chief intelligence officer."

According to law enforcement officials, former Department of Energy nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee "has not turned over to U.S. investigators copies of key nuclear secrets he allegedly recorded onto magnetic tape....

"Senior Justice Department officials have told ABCNEWS it is highly unlikely prosecutors would take any action against Lee while a renewed investigation into the allegations against him is ongoing."
