Reviews

"A meticulous scholar, Jefferson Adams has written a detailed but fast-paced account of the evolution of strategic intelligence from the end of World War II to the collapse of the Soviet Union and its aftermath. Although the book covers a wide spectrum of issues and deals with a long list of countries, Adams is such a fine writer that he retains the undivided attention of the reader. He is a leader in the field of intelligence studies."
Igor Lukes, Boston University"Strategic Intelligence in the Cold War and Beyond is a valuable contribution to the intelligence literature."
Hayden Peake in Studies in Intelligence"It avoids inundating the student-reader with the trappings of an over-researched monograph and provides the professor’s ‘take’ on many Cold War events. . . . The book would make a fine supplemental reading in a course offering in-depth coverage of the Cold War but lacking the linkage to intelligence."
J. Ransom Clark, International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence Sehepunkte"All in all this easily read volume provides a substantive introduction. Even someone well acquainted with the subject is occasionally surprised."
