Neave, Airey.
Neave, who had first-hand experience at escaping from German prisons, for a time headed MI9's Room 900, the escape and evasion section for Western Europe.

Pforzheimer notes that this "is a slightly abridged edition of ... Saturday at M.I.9." See below.
2. Saturday at MI9. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1969. London: Grafton, 1989. [pb]
According to Surveillant 1.1, this work is the "story of the men and women who set up and ran the escape routes of occupied north west Europe in WWII. No official history of MI9, or its top secret Room 900 at the War Office, has been written yet, but this personal account ... is the first to be written by someone on the inside."
Constantinides comments that Neave had no access to classified material when he wrote this book. Foot and Langley's MI9 is more comprehensive.
3. They Have Their Exits. Boston: Little, Brown, 1953.
This is the story of Neave's escape from the German prison at Colditz Castle. Neave went on to become a pivotal figure in MI9, the British intelligence organization which handled escape and evasion operations. See above Saturday at MI9 and The Escape Room.

Nechiporenko, Oleg Maximovich. Passport to Assassination: The Never-Before-Told Story of Lee Harvey Oswald by the KGB Colonel Who Knew Him. Secaucus, NJ: Birch Lane Press, 1993.
Surveillant 3.4/5: Nechiporenko was "named -- as Oswald's KGB 'Manager' in Mexico City -- in John Barron's 1974 book The KGB and in the 1978 book by Hugh MacDonald and Robin Moore." He says "that the KGB had no such tie to Oswald." This book is "timely and of considerable interest." Those "who cling to the idea of a conspiracy" will probably "adjust their theories to incorporate this account..., deeming it a deliberate bit of disinformation."

These are Nedzi's remarks to the CIA Senior Seminar, 14 November 1973. He suggests that "it is a bit unsettling that 26 years after the passage of the National Security Act the scope of real Congressional oversight, as opposed to nominal Congressional oversight, remains unformed and unclear."

According to Lefebvre, IJI&C 21.4 (Winter 2008-2009), this book "contains the analysis and the verbatim transcripts of several dozen taped conversations held between 1942 and 1945 among imprisoned German officers (most of whom were generals) at Trent Park, the location of a British Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre (CSDIC).... The information obtained by MI19 from German colonels and generals did not have much direct military value.... Yet, the indirect, strategic gains were huge."

International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 6,
no. 2 (Summer 1993): 195-203.
Although keyed to the intelligence budgets and philosophies of the Bush administration, Nelson's baseline conclusion failed to hold into the late 1990s: "If the current trend lines hold, the intelligence community will be little diminished in the tough fiscal environment of the 1990s. The technology dependent nature of the intelligence process makes significant cuts in the budget very difficult."

Rawnsley, I&NS 13.2, calls War of the Black Heavens a "magnificent contribution,... a genuinely comparative study ... [and] an absorbing and informative book." It is "well researched and elegantly written." Nelson has added "the missing Soviet dimension that earlier studies have avoided.... The book is at its best when describing the structure of Soviet propaganda,... as well as its reaction to Western broadcasts and the elaborate (and expensive) methods of censorship that the Soviet system built to compete with them.... Nelson also highlights the explicit link between propaganda and intelligence."
