Marshall, Alan. The "Ruffian's Wage": Intelligence and Espionage in the Reign of Charles II, 1660-1685. Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History Series. London & New York: Cambridge University Press, 1994.

Forster, I&NS 11.1, calls the book "a pioneering, well-organized and fully documented study of the development of the intelligence system, its approach, mechanics and activities.... He concludes that the regime's intelligence system 'performed fairly efficiently,' and that it became increasingly acceptable as a legitimate part of the State's business."

According to Surveillant 4.4/5, the author shows that the Restoration regime operated an intelligence system using networks on both the local and international levels. "The careers of a number of spies employed by the regime are examined through a series of detailed case studies."

Loomie, AHR 101.3, finds Marshall's work to be "carefully researched and well-written"; this is "pioneering research on a controversial subject." Kruh, Cryptologia 19.3, agrees, calling the book an "erudite history and analysis," the "1,399 footnotes and comprehensive bibliography" of which "are testimony to its scholarship."

Petersen notes that the subject matter of this book is "[a]lleged CIA drug running and ties to terrorism."

NameBase says "[t]his is one of the better books on Iran-contra, written by three excellent investigative writers.... [T]he heavy footnoting ... makes the book useful as a source that in turn can point to other, more obscure sources."

There are "organizational, technical and professional problems" associated with a failure to understand the nature of IMINT and a "consequent failure to recognize the differences between IMINT and MASINT....

"With the disassembly of the NPIC and DIA's Directorate for Imagery Exploitation, there is no longer a shelter for image talent in the Intelligence Community. Scientists and engineers have talked and counted their way into control over a discipline that they do not fully appreciate.... After a decent interval has passed, the Community may openly regret having given cartographic engineers influence over the craft of seeing."

Marshall, Robert. All the King's Men. London: Collins, 1988.

Although this work focuses on the double-agent career of SOE's air operations officer in France, Henri Déricourt, Seaman, I&NS 4.1, notes that the underlying argument is that SIS Assistant Chief Claude Dansey was actually using Déricourt to sabotage SOE's operations. The reviewer concludes that the evidence cited to link Dansey with Déricourt "is all but non-existent." Additionally, there are "a plethora of basic historical errors[] and mis-spellings."

From Public Record Office, "New Document Releases: Security Service Records Release 25-26 November 2002," http://www.pro.gov.uk/releases: "Dericourt, alias Gilbert, was a French civilian pilot who came to the UK via the Middle East.... Despite some uncertainty as to his reliability he was taken on by SOE. Dericourt was responsible for the movement of agents in and out of France belonging to the Buckmaster network. In 1943 he was denounced as a double agent, but as the accusation came from a rival and difficult Resistance leader, the investigation proved inconclusive. Dericourt's loyalty was propped up by the fact that he had extricated a senior British SOE officer, Charles Boddington.... After the war the capture of German documents led to a trial in France. He was controversially acquitted after Boddington gave evidence for the defence."

"Within the Marine Corps and Navy,... there is a chronic scarcity of proficient, highly trained intelligence analysts to support an increasing operational tempo around the world.... The best way to train our intelligence analysts to decipher, interpret, identify, and reasonably predict the capabilities (and intentions) of potential adversaries is through improved education."
