Jefferson Adams is professor of European history at Sarah Lawrence College. His publications include Beyond the Wall: Memoirs of an East and West German Spy (ed., 1992) and Historical Dictionary of German Intelligence (2009). He is also the senior editor of The International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence.
"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."
Armin Wagner, Sehepunkte
