Surveillant 3.6 calls this an "impressive military history work" the scope of which is mostly "far afield" from intelligence. However, Sexton notes that there are "informative entries discussing the importance of Signals Intelligence and ULTRA."

Brown, IJI&C 6.3, calls this work "truly marvelous in terms of scope, breadth, and depth"; it is "highly readable" and its "editing is decidedly uniform."
For Cohen, FA 73.2, this is a "mammoth -- and too expensive -- work." Its "great strength ... is its clear exposition of technical issues.... Yet too much space goes to articles of general political or historical interest that are covered in non-specialized encyclopedias.... Still, the breadth and lucidity of the technical articles carry these handsomely printed volumes along, making the encyclopedia an outstanding resource for students of military affairs."
