Although Kapitza has been referred to in connection with both the development of the Soviet atom bomb and the Cambridge spy ring, the author argues that he really was not part of either activity.

In his antithesis, the author argues -- while assessing later information -- that an Iraqi CBW arsenal existed well past 1991 and that arsenal may have been smuggled into Syria.

"To date, Canada has demonstrated that it can achieve a balance between the protection of its citizens via security and intelligence measures, and the protection of their individual rights and freedoms from abusive government interference through review and oversight mechanisms that monitor the national police force and the state security and intelligence bodies and their activities."

Shore, Zach. "Hitler, Intelligence and the Decision to Remilitarize the Rhine." Journal of Contemporary History 34, no. 1 (Jan. 1999): 5-18.

"[T]he decision to remilitarize the Rhine in March 1936 ... resulted not only from Hitler's recognition of Italy's estrangement from France, but also from Neurath's consistent assurances to Hitler that France would not fight. Neurath's conviction in turn was based partly on accurate intelligence regarding the intentions of French political and military leaders."

Shorrock, Tim. Spies for Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2008.

Stein, Washington Post Book World, 1 Jun. 2008, sees this as a "valuable (and angry) book." The author says that intelligence contracting is now "a $45 billion-a-year industry,... chewing up three quarters of the estimated $60 billion intelligence budget. It is no longer limited mainly to providing hardware"; it reaches "from top to bottom, from data-mining contractors ... to spy handlers, regional intelligence analysts and ex-special operations troops who run paramilitary operations." The book is biased against outsourcing and "would have benefited mightily from interviews with some of the officials [Shorrock] lampoons. But one-sided though it is, it contains some important, timely truths about the influx of private entrepreneurs into America's spy agencies."

For Peake, Studies 52.4 (Dec. 2008) and Intelligencer 17.1 (Winter-Spring 2009), "[o]utsourcing may be as damaging as Shorrock contends, but he fails to make the case or provide a satisfactory alternative." Keiser, Proceedings 135.8 (Aug. 2009), finds that "[t]he book's strength lies in its exposition of fairly recent government-business collusion. But it lacks historical perspective.... The Bush administration did not invent" this way of doing business.

Discusses the use of mobile remote receive stations (RRSs) to downlink live imagery from Navy P-3C Orions to remotely situated troops, and suggests that the same configuration would be an asset to Marine expeditionary unit (MEU) operations in littoral areas where P-3Cs are operating.

Showell, Jak P. Mallmann. Enigma U-Boats: Breaking the Code. Shepperton, UK: Ian Allen, 2000.

According to Erskine, I&NS 17.1, this work "examines in detail the sinking or boarding of about 13 U-boats by the Allies during the Second World War, together with the capture of some Kriegsmarine weather ships and patrol boats which yielded Enigma-related documents." However, the work "contains very little ... about the Enigma-related documents or material captured during these incidents, or their value for Sigint purposes." The reviewer concludes that Hugh Sebag-Montefiore's Enigma: The Battle for the Code "is much the better book."

Showell, Jak P. Mallmann. German Naval Codebreakers. Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2003. Hersham, UK: Ian Allen, 2003.

According to Jonkers, AFIO WIN 11-03 (19 Mar. 2003), the author presents "high points" of the German Naval Radio Monitoring Service's "interception, decoding and intelligence activities" in World War II. The work "covers the growth of 'B-Dienst' and the integral part intelligence played in naval battles."

Kruh, Cryptologia 28.1, notes that "the book gives an account of some of the successes and failures of German codebreaking activities and how these impacted upon naval operations in European waters.... While unable to prevent the defeat of Germany, the author believes their codebreakers had a significant influence on the course of the war at sea." Bath, NIPQ 20.2, finds that "the book provides a useful appendix on the wartime organization of the German Naval Intelligence Service."

For Beard, I&NS 19.1, "the German codebreaking effort, whose successes played a crucial role in the Battle of the Atlantic in 1942 and 1943, remains a tale untold." Rielage, NWCR 59.1 (Winter 2006), finds that "the book suffers from an unfortunate organization. Attempting to avoid a chronological history of the war at sea, the author has arranged his material in a series of short vignettes, separated by ship type and area of operations. Lost in this organization is the common thread of the B-Dienst itself." Nevertheless, "there are historical gems" here; but all such gems suffer "from the second major failing of the book -- an almost complete lack of documentation."
