Stanglin, Douglas. "French Affairs." U.S. News & World Report, 13 Mar. 1995, 21-22.

This article suggests that slipshod operations may have been partially at fault for the flap in France over CIA intelligence collection operations. It points to a report of a female nonofficial cover officer who had previously displayed bad judgment and been demoted.

Stanik, Joseph T. El Dorado Canyon: Reagan's Undeclared War with Qadaffi. Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2002.

Jonkers, AFIO WIN 47-02, 11 Dec. 2002, finds that the author "provides a detailed account" of the U.S. air raid against Libya and "an in-depth analysis of its causes and effects." Stanik also "describes three other hostile encounters between US and Libyan forces and recounts US covert operations in the 1980s. The book reads well and is a study in diplomacy, strategy, high-level policy and tactical operations."

Stanley, Alessandra. "British Attaché Is Assassinated on Greek Street." New York Times, 9 Jun. 2000. [http://www.nytimes.com]

Brigadier Stephen Saunders, British defense attache in Greece, "was the first British official assassinated in an attack linked to November 17, but the killing was the 23rd attributed to the group, which emerged in 1975 with the slaying of Richard Welch, the Central Intelligence Agency station chief in Athens and the first of four American officials killed by the group.

"In the last 25 years, no member of November 17 has been arrested, driving the State Department to identify Greece in an April report as 'one of the weakest links in Europe's effort against terrorism.'" On 5 June 2000, the U.S. National Commission on Terrorism said that Greece "was not fully cooperating against terrorism."

Stanley, Alessandra. "Italians Bare Soviet 'Spies' But the Disclosures Backfire." New York Times, 12 Oct. 1999. [http://www.nytimes.com]

The Italian parliamentary committee that investigates security matters "made public a dossier [on 11 October 1999] identifying 261 politicians, bureaucrats and journalists as having cooperated, in some cases unwittingly, with the Soviet Union." The committee members "then expressed regret for not having first checked their credibility. Armando Cossuta, an Italian Communist leader..., was the most prominent figure to appear in the documents," copied from Soviet files by KGB archivist Vasili Mitrokhin.

Stanley, Alessandra. "Russia Arrests an American and Accuses Him of Spying." New York Times, 2 Dec. 1997. A5 (N)

Qualcomm engineer Ronald L. Bliss was arrested in Rostov-on-Don on 25 November 1997 by the Russian federal security service and charged with spying. Bliss is ostensibly in Russia working on a contract between Qualcomm and a Russian concern. The security service said Bliss was "illegally using a satellite receiver to conduct topographical measurements" in restricted areas. The U.S. Embassy in Moscow and Qualcomm have vehemently denied the charges.

Stanley, Roy M., II. To Fool a Glass Eye: Camouflage Versus Photoreconnaissance in World War II. Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1998.

According to Seamon, Proceedings, Dec. 1998, this "handsome collection" consists of "more than 350 U.S., British, and German aerial photographs taken during World War II, along with clear, concise descriptions of what the pictures uncovered."

Van Nederveen, posted on 31 Oct. 2000 at http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/bookrev/08.html, says that this book provides "interesting examples" that give "an overview of camouflage, concealment, and deception techniques. The book explores the value of effective photo-intelligence techniques and demonstrates it with striking examples. It also shows how practical photo-intelligence techniques allow a detailed understanding of the enemy.... To Fool a Glass Eye is a must for World War II history buffs and intelligence personnel."

Stanton, Doug. Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of U.S. Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan. New York: Scribner, 2009.

Barcott, New York Times, 17 May 2009, notes that this is the story of the Army's Fifth Special Forces Group and of their fight alongside the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan. Although he identifies individuals, the author draws his protagonists "in such bland macho superlatives that they all tend to blend into one intense, hard-as-nails G.I. Joe." The Northern Alliance's Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum "pulls double duty here by liberating his country and breaking out of the book's broad-shouldered tough guy mold.... Stanton packs a huge amount of research into a thrilling action ride of a book."
