The author suggests that "if the intelligence community’s analysts had taken [a] more wide-ranging approach ... to this difficult intelligence puzzle, it is likely that they would have produced a more accurate and informative intelligence product for policy makers."

Tracy, Jen. "FSB Sets Sights on Internet Control." St. Petersburg Times, 16 Feb. 1999. [http://www.times.spb.ru]

"Free-range monitoring of the Internet by Russia's Federal Security Service, or FSB, may soon be as easy as clicking a mouse -- a situation that has local service providers [ISPs] forecasting both the demise of their businesses and the complete loss of private electronic correspondence for St. Petersburg's 50,000 Internet users."

Tracy, Jen. "Internet Provider Plans to Sue FSB." St. Petersburg Times, 18 May 1999. [http://www.times.spb.ru]

Nailj Murzahanov is the "general director of Bayard-Slavia Communications, the only Internet Service Provider in Russia that has consistently refused to comply with SORM-2, the FSB's program of mandatory Internet surveillance....

"In April [1999], FSB agents handed Murzahanov a detailed 'realization plan' of cooperation -- involving complete surrender of client privacy and thousands of dollars out of his company's pocket to foot the bill for the necessary technology -- and threatened to close his business if he refused to comply.

"They took the first step [on 17 May 1999], disconnecting Bayard-Slavia's satellite channel, effectively shutting Murzahanov's operation down.

"But Murzahanov is ready to retaliate with a threat of his own: Bayard-Slavia will be the first Russian ISP to bring a civil suit against the FSB for what Murzahanov and his lawyers believe is an illegally forceful attempt to monitor and control his clients' Internet activity."

Trahair, Richard C.S. Encyclopedia of Cold War Espionage, Spies, and Secret Operations. Westport, CT: Greenwood, 2004.

Peake, Studies 49.4 (2005), thoroughly trashes this work, calling it "a strong competitor for a position near the bottom of any ranking" of recent encyclopedias on intelligence. "Many of the errors involve dates.... Other entries combine errors of fact and dates.... Then comes the category of plain factual error." All of these errors "could have been avoided with the exercise of due diligence."

Travers, I&NS 10.4, notes that there is little emphasis on the intelligence side of the AEF's operations. "However, from time to time, Trask highlights the impact of Intelligence." The main contribution of this book is to revise "the beliefs of an earlier generation of AEF historians" by putting AEF operations into a 1918 perspective.

Travers, Russ. "The Coming Intelligence Failure: A Blueprint For Survival." Studies in Intelligence (1997): 35-43.

In retrospect, this was an almost prophetic article: "[I]f we are going to try to fix an IC that is ill-equipped to analyze the complexities of today's world, we should start soon. The kind of restructuring that is required will take a huge short-term toll on our effectiveness, and it will take a substantial time for the dust to settle.... Either we fix it now in hopes of being in a position to support America's intelligence needs at the beginning of the new millennium, or we fix it later -- under the cloud of failure."

Travis, Alan. "Payments that Forced Wodehouse into Exile: German Documents Found by MI5 Undermine Writer's 'Silly Ass' Defence." The Guardian (UK), 17 Sep. 1999.

According to newly released files, "MI5's conclusion that PG Wodehouse's wartime broadcasts from Berlin were not the isolated actions of a 'naive, silly ass' was based on documents found in the archives of the German embassy in Paris.... The papers ... 'strongly suggested' he was on the Nazis' payroll.... But the conclusion also rested on intelligence reports on Wodehouse's associations with John Amery, the son of a cabinet minister, who was hanged in Wandsworth prison as a traitor."
