1. "President's Commentary: Intelligence May Be Bent, But Not Broken." Signal, Oct. 1997, 14.
This is an opinion piece by the AFCEA President. He acknowledges that American intelligence "must respond to changes wrought by the post-Cold-War era and the information technology revolution." However, he argues that the solution "does not lie in a brute force reorganization or in chain-saw budget cutting." Interestingly, Wood supports efforts to "strengthen the hand of the ... DCI," and notes that the "[k]ey to success in this position is more control over intelligence resources."
2. "President's Commentary: Intelligence Increasingly Relies on Symbiotic Relationship." Signal, Oct. 1998, 14.
This is an opinion piece by the AFCEA President. He argues that "human intelligence and technical collection serve to fill each other's gaps. The important element is that the two work in tandem."
3. "President's Commentary: Intelligence Is at a Crucial Crossroad." Signal, Oct. 1999, 14.
This is an opinion piece by the AFCEA President. Because of the "sense of uncertainty" that characterizes the post-Cold War era, the U.S. Intelligence Community needs to "take the initiative in developing a broad, cohesive plan for national intelligence. This effort must encompass specific funding requirements, new sensor and collection systems, information architectures and centralized authority" under a strengthened DCI.

In the first 25 years after World War II, "British models were more important" to the development of estimative intelligence in Australia. Since that time, "Australia has moved closer to American practice in refining the estimates machinery and in making it directly responsible to the head of government." Nevertheless, Australian experience has had "its own distinctive characteristics."

According to Jonkers, AFIO WIN 11-03, 19 Mar. 2003, the author "describes the policies of the Spanish government in combating the Basque terrorist group ETA over the past 40 years. He reflects on what happens when a democratic administration begins to use terrorist methods ... against a terrorist group.... He argues that such a strategy undermines democracy's best arguments against terrorism in principle, and has a deeply negative effect in practice."

Worth, Roland H., Jr. Secret Allies in the Pacific: Covert Intelligence and Code Breaking Cooperation between the United States, Great Britain and Other Nations Prior to the Attack on Pearl Harbor. Jefferson, NC, and London: McFarland, 2001.
Seamon, Proceedings, Jan. 2002, says that "few studies ... have ranged so widely and probed so deeply into prewar intelligence gathering" as this book does. Along the way, the author "all but demolishes conspiracy theories claiming President Franklin Roosevelt was responsible for the attack."
Although he identifies some "shortcomings" in this work, Jacobsen, I&NS 17.3, concludes that the author "does provide a very readable general overview of the Sigint, and to a lesser degree, the covert intelligence activities of the Allies against Japan" leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Kruh, Cryptologia 26.2, comments that "Worth brings together pieces of often isolated details." which allows the reader "to gain a sense of how the chain of [intelligence-sharing] alliances came to exist, how they functioned and what were their limitations." However, "knowledgeable readers will not find many surprises."

"After more than a decade of revitalization, how will [special operations forces] be employed?" Worthington expresses particular concern that past SOF experience will be standardized into rigid doctrine, while it is unconventionality that is really the point of SOFs.

Woytak, Richard A. On the Border of War and Peace: Polish Intelligence and Diplomacy in 1937-39 and the Origins of the Ultra Secret. Boulder, CO: East European Quarterly, 1979. New York: Columbia University Press, 1979.
To Constantinides, this book's title raises expectations the contents do not meet: "There is nothing very significant" on Ultra "or on the Polish codebreaking role in this short work." However, there is "some valuable information on the organization of Polish intelligence in prewar years and on some Polish positive, cryptologic, and counterintelligence operations against the Germans and the Soviets."
On the other hand, Sexton finds the work "[e]specially revealing regarding the role of intelligence in Polish-German negotiations and the breaking of the ENIGMA cipher."
