... Understanding Shadows The Corrupt Use of Intelligence Michael Quilligan Atlanta (GA): Clarity Press, 2013, $21.95 (USA), p/b The author is or was – it isn't clear which – one of the writers for Intelligence, the Paris-based fortnightly intelligence newsletter1 (and this has an introduction by Intelligence's founder/editor, Olivier Schmidt.) In the early years of Lobster we came across Intelligence in its first incarnation as a newsletter with summaries of stories and their sources. It was very good, though with much wider sources and more money than Lobster. In the late 1980s it went professional and became expensive; more importantly, it ...

... . Douglass's contention that Kennedy did this out of a real interest in making peace may at first seem naïve, or even sentimental, but as he stacks up the evidence it becomes convincing. While establishing his thesis of a Kennedy newly devoted to the cause of peace, he also stakes his ground quickly on Oswald, establishing his credentials in intelligence – a familiar argument to anyone who knows the JFK case – but also showing that, far from hating Kennedy or seeing him as a target to propel him to fame, Oswald had been studying the President, reading his books, and admired him. What Douglass does, in constructing these parallel journeys, is establish both men as ...

... the support for the stance among sections of the Protestant population. The Good Friday Agreement has not yet been securely consolidated in place. What factors brought about the Provisional IRA's historic turn, their recognition that military victory was impossible? There can be little doubt that one factor was the improved performance of the security forces, in particular of the intelligence and surveillance arms. So effective had they become that the journalist, Jack Holland, could write, with only slight exaggeration, that in the 1990s the safest thing to be in Northern Ireland was a member of the security forces. The Provisional IRA was unable to prosecute an effective campaign against the British because it would have exposed them ...

... prison on 23 August 2012, for stealing £29 million from his company and from its North Cyprus subsidiary Uni-Pac. Soon after Justice Minister Chris Grayling rejected Nadir's request for a transfer from a British to a Turkish prison, some of his supporters uploaded to their website, jancom.org, a document, described as a CIA intelligence report, naming two British former SAS men as the killers of Dr Gerald Bull, the designer of Saddam Hussein's so- called supergun. The unsolved murder of the 62-year old Canadian-born engineer Gerald Bull, shot dead outside the door of his Brussels flat on March 22, 1990, has been variously attributed to the ...

... he had seen Oswald at the Cuban Consulate receiving a large amount of money after making an offer to kill someone. Alvarado's claims found support from the American Ambassador in Mexico City who believed that "Castro was somehow involved in a plot to assassinate President Kennedy." The story turned out to be a disinformation exercise - Alvarado was a Nicaraguan intelligence officer (9 ) - though the real reason it was dropped was probably because the Nicaraguan was too close to CIA officers like David Phillips. Interestingly enough a similar claim was resurrected at about the same time the Clark article appeared, during the Garrison enquiry. Clare Booth Luce, ardent anti-communist and wife of Time-Life ...

... of her - and maybe, as a working journalist, she is just better at the job. For whatever reason, Henze's little book is going to get buried by Sterling's, and it is hers I will concentrate on. As with her last book, The Terror Network, much of her 'evidence' is attributed to unidentified police and intelligence officers. This bothered me less than it did with The Terror Network. This book is more modest in its ambitions, more tightly focused, the unattributable assertions more thoroughly supported by (potentially) checkable material. Her thesis, and the book, is in two sections. In the first she takes the reader through the stages of ...

There might be some fragments of interest to those seriously interested in the history of US-Soviet espionage. However, I am not interested in that subject, and to me, on a quick skim, only three snippets struck me. On p. 53 Kalugin reports that he and ...
