Simpson: "The Arctic region is reemerging as a potential theater of operations because of changes" brought about by "global warming. A characteristic that ... distinguishes the Arctic from other U.S. geographic combatant commander (GCC) areas of responsibility is that its landscape is literally changing in physical composition. This reality brings with it many significant and far-reaching security implications."

Burg, Steven L., and Paul S. Shoup. The War in Bosnia-Herzegovina: Ethnic Conflict and International Intervention. New York: M.E. Sharpe, 1999.

Prochazka, Balkan Academic Book Review (2000), finds that the authors have produced "a very well balanced and thorough piece abundant with a great variety of information covering historical, cultural, political, and military dimensions of the conflict in Bosnia as well as different international peace efforts to resolve it. Furthermore, Burg and Shoup offer detailedanalysis of behaviour and motivation of various domestic and international actors throughout the crisis.... The strength of this work is that it strives to be fair to all sides."

Burke, David. The Spy Who Came In From the Co-op: Melita Norwood and the Ending of Cold War Espionage. London: Boydell and Brewster, 2008.

According to Chris Hastings, "British Spy Melita Norwood Helped Speed Up USSR's Atomic Bomb Programme," Telegraph (London), 3 Sep. 2008, the author was a friend who interviewed Melita Norwood "extensively in the years leading up to her death in 2005." Burke claims that "Norwood ... handed over technical information which provided Russian scientists with a crucial breakthrough. Her contribution allowed them to overcome problems,... and led directly to the USSR exploding its bomb in 1949." Peake, Studies 53.3 (Sep. 2009) and Intelligencer 17.2 (Fall 2009), says that this story "is at once peculiarly fascinating and well told."

Capital Markets Intelligence = The provision of timely information on the behavior of institutional investors, on key personnel in investment institutions, and on actual investments. "A select group of financial consulting firms have ... [made] a qualitative leap forward in the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information on portfolio managers and capital flows. These qualitative advances have come in the form of computer-based databases."

Burke served in OSS in World War II and later was part of the CIA's covert operation against Albania in the early 1950s. His OSS adventures were made into a movie, "Cloak and Dagger," with Gary Cooper playing Burke. In later life, Burke was president and chairman of the board of the New York Yankees.

Burke, Terrence M. Stories from the Secret War: CIA Special Ops in Laos. Durango, CO: La Plata Books, 2012.

From "Prologue": "I played a role in th[e] drama [in Laos] from 1963 to 1965.... I have not attempted to make this a historical tome, but ... to place a face on those who lived, worked and sometimes died in an effort to keep a small landlocked kingdom free." Peake, Studies 57.4 (Dec. 2013), calls this "the tale of a genuine risk-taker who overcame a low tolerance for bureaucratic niggling and achieved high office [deputy administrator of DEA]."

Clark comment: The 1997 reissue of The Jennifer Project includes a new foreword and postscript. Also note that the correct project name is Project Azorian; Jennifer was the special security compartment created for information on the project. Commenting on the first edition, Constantinides says that there are things in this book "that make one hesitate to accept its reliability," and recommends Verner and Collier's book, A Matter of Risk, as a better source.
