... . The author shows that this was, indeed, a very big spy ring. (The CIA were still investigating its activities well into the 1970s, believing that portions of it had survived various Gestapo crack-downs and had gone on to become embedded in the new pro-NATO West German state.) Kilzer reasons that because the intelligence provided by the Orchestra to the Soviets was so good, so detailed and so close to the commands issuing from Hitler's HQ, the source of this must have been Bormann, playing the role of a diabolical secret agent. Well maybe. Equally a small number of other German suspects could have been the source of this. Equally, ...

... Chomsky, Herman, Knightley and Fisk. But the Fisk interview I hadn't seen (he says he was getting a thousand letters a day during the war!), anything by Chomsky and Herman is worth having and the Pilger pieces, written in the weeks preceding the invasion, stand up pretty well. There are interesting snippets on the intelligence services and disinformation, psy-ops, US propaganda and media behaviour. The material which has survived best is the essays on the workings of the media and state propaganda; and of those the most interesting pieces to me are by the journalists: Tim Llewellyn, former BBC reporter, on how the corporation persuades itself that it isn't ...

... which they had been recording since 1939. Based on so-called one time pads (and these are explained at length in one of the chapters in Haynes and Klehr), the Soviets thought their codes unbreakable and chatted way in great detail about their agents. But by 1950 enough of the Soviet material had been decoded for the US intelligence community to begin piecing together the Soviet networks in the US. These intercepts - code named Venona - many of which remain unbroken to this day, reveal that the Rosenbergs, Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, Larry Duggan, Lauchlin Currie, and all the other less important causes celebres of the fifties, were guilty as charged. ...

But threat generation isn't enough in itself; the threat also has to be legitimised; and, despite the DIA and Air Force and Naval intelligence, at the apex of the legit-imising process remains the CIA. The CIA's intelligence estimation process is therefore the key area of contest for the military- ...

It might seem very odd to start with the name of Reinhard Gehlen, long-since dead founder of the BND, the German Security Service. Reinhard Gehlen, to over-simplify a very complex tale, bought his way into the Western intelligence fraternity by handing over extensive files on anti-Soviet intelligence networks behind enemy lines in 1945/6 .
