Taheri, Amir. Nest of Spies. London: Hutchinson, 1988.
The "nest of spies" is, of course the U.S. Embassy in Teheran.
Brinkman, I&NS 4.4, takes this book entirely too seriously, even though he clearly recognizes its faults. Simultaneously, the reviewer says the book "is original and well-documented" (the author supplements conventional sources with the documents seized at the Embassy in 1979) and "stylistically ... reflects the fuzz[y] line between news and editorial." And he notes that the author "shows a ... preoccupation with intrigue," and, on one occasion, has concocted "a bizarre and implausible conspiracy theory." Yet, much wordage is devoted to outlining Taheri's views on the nature on the Iranian revolution.

Taillon, J. Paul de B. The Evolution of Special Forces in Counter-Terrorism. Westport, CT: Praeger, 2001.
Cronin, Joint Force Quarterly 29 (Autumn/Winter 2001-2002), notes that the author "describes a specific tool of response to terrorism, military missions by British and American forces.... The chapter on U.S. capabilities is more fluently written than that on their British counterparts; however, the comparison of the historical development of their respective operational doctrine is insightful. The culture of each nation's forces is described in the context of low-intensity conflicts.... The Americans do not fare well by comparison.... The book's conclusions are sound but general."

Talbert, Roy, Jr. Negative Intelligence: The Army and the American Left, 1917-1941. Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 1991.
According to Dorwart, I&NS 8.2, this book concerns pre-World War II Army surveillance activities or "negative intelligence -- as opposed to positive intelligence about the warmaking assets of potential foreign enemies." The "fundamental concepts of negative intelligence [were] developed fully during this period." The author "concludes that until documentary evidence becomes available ... it is premature to draw conclusions about army surveillance in America after 1941."
Surveillant 1.6, says Talbert tells the "story of military counterintelligence on the home front, based on recently declassified military intelligence archives.... The Negative Branch of Military Intelligence, created by Lt. Col. Ralph H. Van Deman in 1917, spied on American[s] ... in a program of civilian surveillance.... [A]ttempts over the years to restrain MI's work failed until WWII brought Hoover's FBI into the supreme position of chief domestic counterspies."
MI 19.2 calls the book a "well-crafted, superbly researched history of how the Negative Branch of MI ... conducted surveillance operations against radicalism from World War I through the Red Scare and the Great Depression." The author "does not romanticize the radicals nor underrate their domestic threat.... Yet, Talbert believes the threat was never as strong as the Army perceived." This is a "top-notch description of the historical development of the first modern MI organization" and a "valuable, well-written addition to American intelligence history."

Talbot, David. Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years. New York: Free Press, 2007.
According to Bohning, Washington DeCoded (11 Jul. 2007), the author "believes John F. Kennedy’s assassination was not the deranged act of a lone gunman, but the result of a much larger conspiracy." His are the usual suspects -- the CIA, the Mafia, and Cuba. "Talbot contends that unintended consequences" from U.S. efforts to get rid of Fidel Castro "precipitated John F. Kennedy’s assassination.... [W]hen it comes to the subject of Cuba and the Kennedys, Brothers is not only a disappointment, but strives to turn that history upside down."
