Cain, I&NS 6.1/247, says that this work "is easier to read than Manne's book [The Petrov Affair] and should be consulted by students of the affair before they tackle Manne's more thorough study based on archival records."

Whitman, John. "Better an Office of Sovietology." Studies in Intelligence 8, no. 1 (Winter 1964): 65-66.
Responding to Richard W. Shryock, "For an Eclectic Sovietology," Studies in Intelligence 8, no. 1 (Winter 1964): 57-64., the author argues that while "all schools are needed,... they will continue to work at cross purposes so long as they remain in different bureaucracies." They need to be united "in a single organizational framework devoted to exploiting all methodologies for a single aim -- the analysis of Soviet politics as a research problem."

Estimating Communist reactions to a U.S. course of action is the "most fascinating and frustrating of the National Intelligence Estimates" that an estimates officer will write.

Whittell, Giles. "Russian Held on Charge of Spying for Britain." Times (London), 16 Mar. 2000. [http://www.the-times.co.uk]
"Sources hinted ... at a connection between the Tallinn case and that of Platon Obukhov, a former Russian Foreign Ministry official, who was arrested in 1996 after admitting contacts with British intelligence in Moscow.... A more likely reason ... is Moscow's exasperation over British attacks on its Chechen policy and over what it considers British Muslims' illegal support for the Chechen rebels."

Whitwell, John [Pseud. for Leslie Nicholson]. British Agent. London: Kimber, 1966. London: Frank Cass, 1997.
Clark comment: This is Nicholson's memoir of service with MI6/SIS from 1929 to 1945. He headed the SIS station in Prague 1930-1934, and in Riga until the Soviet occupation in August 1940. Nicholson's wartime service included the handling of Middle East and Balkan operations.
Constantinides suggests that Nicholson "has relatively little to tell,... but there are some good lessons on poor practices by intelligence services, including his own." On the other hand, Wark, I&NS 11.4/625, calls British Agent "the best memoir available of the British secret service during the 1930s." (Wark wrote an introduction to the 1997 edition.)
For Salmon, I&NS 13.4, Nicholson tells his story in a manner that is "readable, entertaining and genuinely informative.... Nicholson provides much colourful material and many good anecdotes, but he is particularly informative on the banal detail of everyday life as a spy."

Whymant, Robert. Stalin's Spy: Richard Sorge and the Tokyo Espionage Ring. London: Tauris, 1996. New York: St. Martin's, 1998.
Andrew, Spectator, 7 Dec. 1996, finds this a "very readable biography." Although Whymant's work "does not change the broad picture of Sorge's career as it has emerged from previous studies, it adds much interesting detail."
To Nish, I&NS 12.3, Whymant's "narrative flows along smoothly," and provides "a thorough, comprehensive, indeed gripping, account of Sorge's activities.... But we still do not know how much weight they carried at destination or the use to which they were put."
Bath, NIPQ 20.1, notes that this work "adds the dimension of information drawn from Soviet Defense Ministry and KGB files released in the post-Cold War era. It also delves in greater depth into Sorge's psychological make-up and his relationship with others."
For Frank, IJI&C 13.1, the author has a "breezy, readable style," but the "book suffers from shoddy scholarship.... The reference notes ... do not provide dates for the several interviews which Mr. Whymant conducted. Innumerable references to 'Russian Archives' offer no further clarification or description."
