Pidgeon, Geoffrey. The Secret Wireless War: The Story of MI6 Communications. London: UPSO, 2004.
From advertisement: This book tells of the formation of MI6 Section VIII -- the communications division, headed by Brigadier Richard Gambier-Parry -- "and includes diary entries by one of the 'founding fathers' recording the secret meetings that took place, and the assembly of its talented staff.... Whilst essential, the technical side of the tale has not been allowed to dominate the book which is profusely illustrated."
According to Kruh, Cryptologia 28.4 (Oct. 2004), most of the stories in this work "are first-hand accounts told by those who were part of this most secret of units.... [T]his book is an important record of people and events that helped win World War II."
Kesteloot, Persiscope 26.1 (2004), finds this to be "a remarkable compendium of human stories related to the[] heroic years" of World War II. The author provides a "detailed account of MI-6's wartime radio communications program."

William M. Henhoeffer began the translation of Piekalkiewicz' massive tour through the history of espionage before his untimely death in 1993. The work was completed by Gerald L. Liebenau, and has been published through the efforts of Henhoeffer's sister Rosemary A. Herbst. (From "Notice to Readers About This Translation.") Given his background in intelligence and his stint as Curator of the CIA's Historical Intelligence Collection, Henhoeffer's enthusiasm for the daunting task suggests that this work deserves renewed attention.
Piekalkiewicz chronicled the history of espionage from the Pharoahs to satellites. But what makes World History of Espionage of even greater interest is described by Richard Meier in his "Preface" thusly: "In his soundly researched book, the author makes a significant contribution to clarifying the nature and the tasks of the spy.... Whoever owns a copy of this work not only has at hand an encyclopedia of intelligence services but has come to learn a portion of the true nature and psychological structure of humanity." (pp. 27-28)

1. "Revealed: The Quiet Woman Who Betrayed Britain For 40 Years." Times (London), 11 Sep. 1999.
Melita Norwood, codenamed Hola, was "[t]he most important British female agent ever recruited by the KGB." Today, she lives "quietly in the Home Counties with the full knowledge of the Government." She began her "career in espionage ... in 1937 when she was 25.... Norwood worked as a secretary in the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association in London whose work was critical in the development of the British nuclear deterrent."
A ruling by Home Secretary Jack Straw "that the [87-year-old] mother, grandmother and great-grandmother should not be prosecuted or even interviewed by the security services because of her advanced years" is already being criticized.
2. "The Spy Who Came In From The Co-Op." Times (London), 11 Sep. 1999.
Melita Norwood may be a great-grandmother but she is also "fiercely independent and remains as devoted as ever to the Utopian ideal of the Soviet Union as a peasant workers' state bereft of the British class system which she so hates."
3. "The Holidaymaker Who Became an Unrepentant Spy." Times (London), 11 Sep. 1999.
As personal assistant to the director of the British Non-Ferrous Metals Research Association in Euston, North London, Melita Norwood had access to "[t]racts of sensitive material.... At agreed times with her various controllers, she would remove the documents from the safe and hand them over at secret ... locations.... Mrs Norwood ... maintains today that the material was not significant.... But the Russians put a great value on her work. That was why she was rewarded with the Order of the Red Banner, one of the KGB's highest accolades (which she denies receiving)."
