Constantinides: "Noah's Ark is the memoir of the leader and principal agent of one of the great espionage networks of World War II.... [I]t was the only network to cover all of France and the only one of its kind headed by a woman.... This is the saga, poetic and moving in its presentation, of the network's life."

In the Second Punic War, Rome's "multiple strategic intelligence failures [in] the initial phase ... would seem to have been a powerful prod" to an improved performance. However, "there is no indication that the intelligence structure, or system, was modified. The Senate simply improved the application of its traditional system -- reliance on allies, field commanders, and envoys."

From the Commander, Col. Layton G. Dunbar, USA: "This book contains exemplars of leaflets designed, printed and disseminated in support of Coalition Forces during Operation DESERT STORM.... The psychological preparation of the battlefield began in earnest in December and radio, leaflet and loudspeaker operations continued non-stop throughout the air and ground phases of the conflict. The PSYOP radio network, 'Voice of the Gulf,' broadcast from 19 January until the end of the war.... More than 29 million leaflets (approximately 29 tons) were disseminated between 30 December 1990 and 28 February 1991. Sixty-six PSYOP loudspeaker teams provided tactical support for every major ground unit throughout the ground war."

The historical part tells the story of Katyn and other killing fields, where more than 20,000 Polish" citizens were slaughtered during World War II. The biographical part focuses on the efforts of Waclaw Godziemba-Maliszewski, "a self-taught photo-interpreter of professional caliber," to "identify execution and burial sites, establish Soviet culpability, and pressure Warsaw and Moscow to complete a full official investigation."

From publisher: "Jane Whorwood was one of Charles I's closest confidantes. The wife of an Oxfordshire squire, when the court moved to Oxford in 1642, at the start of the Civil War, she helped the royalist cause by spying for the king, and smuggling gold.... When Charles was held captive by the Parliamentarians, from 1646 to 1649, she organized money, correspondence, several escape attempts, astrological advice, and a ship for him."

Fox, John F., Jr. "Early Days of the Intelligence Community: Bureaucratic Wrangling over Counterintelligence, 1917–18." Studies in Intelligence 49, no. 1 (2005), 9-17.
"As the United States prepared to send troops to fight in France in 1917,... foreign agents had been acting largely with impunity on domestic soil for three years. Treasury Secretary William Gibbs McAdoo made what might appear to be a reasonable proposal: centralize all intelligence responsibility, especially counterintelligence, in a Bureau of Intelligence to be run by the Department of State or the Treasury Department.... [H]is proposal exacerbated a bureaucratic battle underway between the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice over how counterintelligence ... should be handled on the homefront. When the dust settled following the armistice of 1918, Justice's Bureau of Investigation -- the predecessor to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) -- came out on top as the agency in charge of domestic counterintelligence, a responsibility that has not been changed since that time."

According to John Burns, Sunday Times (London), 2 Apr. 2006, the author suggests that Molly Childers, the American wife of Erskine Childers, "spied on Sinn Fein for the British government.... He bases the controversial claim in part on an analysis of the agent's reports, which included American-sounding turns of phrase." Kahn, Intelligencer 17.1 (Winter-Spring 2009), notes that this work is "carefully footnoted."

"In August 1950, the war in Korea was not going well." The inexperienced soldiers of the the U.S. 8th Army "were trapped by North Koreans in a small corner of South Korea." However, Gen. Walton H. Walker had a secret weapon "that would help save the day: signals intelligence (SIGINT) from the Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA) and the service cryptologic organizations.... With few other intelligence sources relating to North Korea available, SIGINT proved vital to the U.S. military efforts in the first months and throughout the war." Kruh, Cryptologia 28.2, finds that "[t]his relatively small [18 pages] publication is packed with a lot of information."
