Pforzheimer notes that in this book the chief of the German Secret Service in World War I "discusses his work in the field of espionage and counterintelligence.... Today, while still of interest, the reader should realize that the author has written largely in generalities, with errors both in facts and judgments."
Constantinides finds that the "style is often oblique, making certain passages hard to understand, and errors of fact and questionable judgments fill the book." Nevertheless, the author does convey "a feel for the attitude of the German military toward intelligence" and "for the importance of communications intelligence in the German victories on the eastern front."

Gardner, I&NS 22.2 (Apr. 2007), notes that this work deals with "Swedish naval intelligence in the early post-war years." The focus is on "the T-Office set up under Dr. Thede Palm," with "the task of considering potentially hostile naval forces." The author has produced "a thoughtful and thoroughly researched study dealing with a little known aspect of mid-twentieth century naval intelligence." However, it is narrowly focused and lacks "any significant insight outside its immediate area of study."

From abstract: "Norway took substantial part in the Western intelligence effort against the Soviet nuclear weapons programme during the Cold War.... Whereas the tasks of surveying the development, deployment and possible employment of Soviet nuclear forces always had first priority, Western atomic intelligence conducted from Norwegian soil and waters was occasionally aimed even at gathering information about the geophysical and possible long-term medical and environmental implications of high-yield nuclear explosions in the atmosphere."
