According to Bates, NIPQ 13.1, the author describes "134 clandestine sea transport operations to the French coast, and a few further north from Britain; 78 individual escape attempts out of Breton ports; and 147 operations from Gibraltar and other bases in the Western Mediterranean." Also fascinating in this account are "the descriptions of the intricate relationships between the Gaullists, the supporters of Petain's Vichy government, and the British, Americans and Poles."

Richards, Julian. The Art and Science of Intelligence Analysis. New York: Oxford University Press, 2010.

Gendron, IJI&C 25.2 (Summer 2012), sees this as "a useful summary about the intelligence process and current thinking on intelligence analysis." Although the book "makes no original contribution to the literature,... [c]omprehensive footnotes direct readers to ... seminal works and provide a useful resource for those who want to probe further." To Peake, Studies 56.2 (Jun. 2012) and Intelligencer 19.2 (Summer-Fall 2012), this is "is a basic primer for anyone concerned about what it takes to become an intelligence analyst. Well documented and clearly written, it is a worthwhile introduction to the topic."

Richards, Lee. "Whispers of War: The British World War II Rumor Campaign." Intelligencer 16, no. 2 (Fall 2008): 53-62.

In the summer of 1940, Department EH (Electra House, a predecessor organization of PWE) "established the Underground Propaganda Committee (UPC)" to create an anti-invasion rumor campaign. The author provides multiple examples of UPC's work. The group's output "was always controversial and some of the myths they perpetrated persist to this very day, which shows they must have been successful to a certain extent."
