Lee's Special Orders 191 of 9 September 1862, a copy of which fell into Union hands, set out the order of march for his invasion of the North. The Battle of Antietam on 17 September 1862 was not a time or place of Lee's choosing, and he was forced to withdraw back into Virginia. The authors extend the ramifications of the failed invasion to determining the outcome of the war.

Millman, Chad. The Detonators: The Secret Plot to Destroy America and an Epic Hunt for Justice. New York: Little, Brown, 2006.
Boghardt, Studies 51.1 (Mar. 2007), notes that the Black Tom explosions of July 1916 are discussed; but the "main focus is on the ... legal battles of the German-American Mixed Claims Commission" after the war. The author's "elucidation of the fluid German secret service networks that operated in the United States throughout the period of American neutrality" is of "particular interest.... Unfortunately, the book's readability occasionally comes at the expense of accuracy and nuance.... Millman's lack of nuance is partially due to the fact that he ignores German sources and scholarship." Nonetheless, the author "tells an exciting story and captures the big picture."

Mills, Ami Chen. CIA Off Campus: Building the Movement Against Agency Recruitment and Research. Boston: South End Press, [n.d.]
This book is possibly the same as CIA Off Campus: A Do-It-Yourself Handbook (Chicago: Bill of Rights Foundation, 1990), which Surveillant 1.2 identifies as a "large-format anti-CIA recruitment handbook" concerned with "how the Agency recruits on college campuses and how those recruitment drives can be sabotaged or blocked. Author Mills is a creative writing graduate who worked with the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) in Washington."

Quarterly Weekly Report, 17 Sep. 1988, 2575.
On 14 September 1988, FBI Director Sessions told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that he was suspending several FBI employees for "inadequacies" surrounding the Bureau's investigation of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES) and affiliated groups. Sessions "denied that the investigation was politically motivated or engineered by the White House." He argued that decisions concerning the investigation did not come from the Director's office (then held by William Webster).

Mills, Francis B. [COL/USA (Ret.)], Robert Mills, and Dr. John W. Brunner. OSS Special Operations in China. Williamstown, NJ: Phillips Publications, 2002.
According to Peake, Studies 47.3, "Mills was in charge of OSS Special Operations in the area of China north of the Yangtze River, including Peking. His book tells the story of the guerrilla operations ... by his teams behind Japanese lines.... While the authors state that the book is based mainly on declassified records, the records are not cited. There are long quotes from diaries, intelligence reports, and team communications, but they are not referenced in any way that would allow a scholar to find them in the archives without going through all the files. Nevertheless, this is a valuable memoir about OSS in China with a level of tactical detail not found elsewhere."

Milmo, Cahal. "Mr David Shayler: Internet Publication Feared; French Hold Former MI5 Man after Files Leaked." Irish Times, 3 Aug, 1998. [http://www.irish-times.com]
Former MI5 officer David Shayler is in a Paris prison "ahead of proceedings to bring him back to Britain, French authorities said [on 2 August 1998]. The maverick security service agent was arrested in the French capital on [1 August 1998] amid rumours that he was about to publish details of MI5 operations. The British government is to seek his extradition." Shayler "fled Britain after a series of newspaper articles disclosing that MI5 had kept files on Trade and Industry Secretary Mr Peter Mandelson and Home Secretary Mr Jack Straw, when they were student activists."

Kruh, Cryptologia 28.1, notes that the author served from 1949 as a cryptanalysis technician in "the cryptanalysis section of the Operations Branch, HQ. ASA-Pacific" in Tokyo. When he "sticks to codebreaking and related details in the Korean War," Milmore "provides one of the best accounts on cryptology in the Korean War."

Surveillant 4.3 notes Milne's suggestion "that the British intelligence services went to astonishing lengths conducting counter-subversion operations (mainly dirty tricks) to stop the National Union of Miners.... And at the head of these operations was Stella Rimington."
For Thurlow, I&NS 10.4, this book is a "bitter account of problems faced by Arthur Scargill, since the end of the miners strike of 1984- 85.... [T]he accusations of MI5 manipulation and 'dirty tricks' during the miners' strike are part of a seedy tradition; the evidence produced however is not strong enough, at present, to convince that this episode should be added to that list."

Seamon, Proceedings, Sep. 2003, comments that Dudley, the U.S. consul in Liverpool, "seems to have worked almost 24 hours a day setting up an efficient spy network to keep tabs on Confederate efforts to acquire warships from British shipyards." Also, through his pamphlets and speeches, "Dudley had remarkable success in keeping the British working class firmly on the side of the Union."
