Weinberg, Gerhard L. Germany, Hitler, and World War II: Essays in Modern German and World History. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995.
Rich, WIR 14.3: Weinberg "argues convincingly that the interaction between the European and Pacific theaters of war has been neglected.... Each chapter contains grist for intelligence mills.... Weinberg describes the deception operations for the D-Day landings that have not always been given the attention they deserve while fully crediting the role of intelligence in creating the conditions of success.... In the constant battle to make certain that intelligence studies are incorporated into mainstream history, we have an obligation to take into account authorities such as Weinberg, one of those significant writers whose insights demand a rethinking of World War II issues."

Weinberg, Gerhard L. A World at Arms: A Global History of World War II. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994.
Campbell, AIJ 15.2, calls A World at Arms "a magnificent work of scholarship.... In the area of intelligence, the author has integrated into his narrative a massive amount of material derived from signals intelligence.... He also addresses the significance of espionage and SIGINT in this conflict (pp. 544-58), and makes references throughout the book to the uses of intelligence, including critical comments on its limitations. (pp. 551-52 and 556)." The reviewer's biggest complaint about the book concerned the maps: "It is inconceivable that the Cambridge University Press should have decided to burden this great book with such poor maps. Further, the book needs a bibliography and not just a 'Bibliographic Essay'."
Foot, I&NS 10.3, comments that this account of World War II "is at once readable and comprehensive." Weinberg "includes 15 pages ... on signals and other intelligence, of which ... he fully comprehends the importance. Here as elsewhere he takes care to point out what is as yet unknown, and what ma[]y prove unknowable." Weinberg "appreciates" -- but does not exaggerate -- "the role of intelligence in warfare."

Porter, I&NS 7.2, finds that this book offers "a great deal of insight into the all-important context of what in retrospect appears a vital stage in British intelligence history in the domestic field."

Weinberger, Caspar, and Peter Schweizer. The Next War. Washington, DC: Regnery, 1996.
Friedman, NSLR 19.1, says that the "former Secretary of Defense has devised several [five] scenarios in which the short-term thinking that drives budget decisions today leads to grave crises in the future.... Weinberger believes that America has dissipated its strength," that U.S. "technological superiority is diminishing.... His scenarios illustrate the potential consequences of under-investment in advanced technologies."
Campbell, History 26.1, sees The Next War as "a very worthwhile attempt to alert Americans to threats to the nation's security."

"In recent years, private contractors have increasingly taken on important military functions, operating in some 50 countries.... They provide security to civilian aid workers, other contractors, and even military forces. They train local armies for combat, develop future American soldiers..., and interrogate prisoners. At times, they've engaged in combat. During the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the U.S. has relied heavily on their support -- private contractors make up a workforce of about 20,000, double the British troop presence."

CIA provided some of his funding, and got most of the blame."

Auer and Halloran, Parameters, Spring 1996, comment that once the author "brings his narrative to Potsdam, he slips into a day-by-day account that, despite its meandering, provides certain insights. For one thing, arguments over the fate of Poland and war reparations from Germany, which had quit in May, seemed to have taken more time than discussions over how to make Japan surrender." However, the book "is marred by factual errors." For example, Weintraub mistakes the Kuriles for the Ryukyu chain of islands."

"Russia's intelligence services, with one of their own in the Kremlin and a reform-battered public yearning for order, are enjoying something they never knew under the old Soviet system: a surge of popular approval and prestige."
