"Secret Intelligence in the European State System, 1918–1989 is an
excellent collection and valuable contribution to the field of
European intelligence history during the twentieth
century."—Kristie Macrakis, H-Diplo
"This worthy essay collection examines the relatively under-studied
history of secret intelligence in France, East and West Germany,
Britain, and Stalin's Russia . . . As a whole, the collection
provides a useful reminder that secret intelligence does not
operate in a vacuum. Nor should the scholarly study of intelligence
. . . Highly recommended."—P. C. Kennedy, CHOICE
"This collection of essays by notable scholars advances our
understanding of aspects of European intelligence history, still an
underdog field compared to the enormous literature on
Anglo-American intelligence. The essays on French intelligence, in
particular, are outstanding—gems of insight into a national
intelligence system that struggled to make a difference."—Wesley
Wark, University of Ottawa
"The contributors to this excellent volume provide us with insight
into a frequently overlooked period in the history of intelligence
organizations. The essays present a balanced study of the
contributions of secret intelligence in this volatile time as well
as enumerate the political constraints under which they
operated."—Glenn Hastedt, James Madison University
