Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook on Israeli Security
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook on Israeli Security provides an authoritative survey of both the historical roots of Israel's national security concerns and their principal contemporary expressions. Following an introduction setting out its central themes, the Handbook comprises 27 independent chapters, all written by experts in their fields, several of whom possess first-hand diplomatic and/or military experience at senior levels. An especially noteworthy feature of this volume is the space allotted to analyses of the impact of security challenges not just on Israel's diplomatic and military postures (nuclear as well as conventional) but also on its cultural life and societal behavior. Specifically, it aims to fulfill three principal needs. The first is to illustrate the dynamic nature of Israel''s security concerns and the ways in which they have evolved in response to changes in the country''s diplomatic and geo-strategic environment, changes that Trade Review" It is undoubtedly an important, impressive, and useful handbook that deserves a place in the library of anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Israel’s national security challenges.

Casemate Publishers Break in the Chain: Intelligence Ignored:
Book SynopsisFor the first two weeks of the Easter Offensive of 1972, the 571st Military Intelligence Detachment provided the only pertinent collateral intelligence available to American forces. Twice daily, the Detachment provided intelligence to the USS Buchanan (DDG-14), US Navy SEALS and Special Forces units including tactical and strategic forecasts of enemy movements, information that was otherwise unavailable to U.S. units and advisors in-country.In the weeks before the offensive, vital agent reports and verbal warnings by the 571st MI Detachment had been ignored by all the major commands; they were only heeded, and then only very reluctantly, once the Offensive began. This refusal to listen to the intelligence explains why no Army or USMC organizations were on-call to recover prisoners discovered or U.S. personnel downed behind enemy lines, as in the BAT-21 incident, as the last two Combat Recon Platoons in Vietnam had been disbanded six weeks before the offensive began. The lessons and experiences of Operation Lam Son 719 in the previous year were ignored, especially with regard to the NVA’s tactical use of tanks and artillery. In his memoir, Bob Baker, the only intelligence analyst with the 571st MI Detachment in 1972, reveals these and other heroics and blunders during a key moment in the Vietnam War.Trade Review...provides the historical intelligence example that can be used today by current military leaders and educators regarding the planning staff’s responsibility to help the commander’s visual the battlefield. * Military Review 16/12/2022 *Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1 – Growing Up an Army Brat Chapter 2 – Basic Training Chapter 3 – USA Intelligence School Chapter 4 – On To Vietnam Chapter 5 – My New Home Chapter 6 – The Laos Prelude Chapter 7 – Skyline Ridge/Campaign Z Chapter 8 – Disrupting Internal Affairs Chapter 9 – ABC’s of the Easter Offensive of 1972 Chapter 10 -The Enemy Plan Chapter 11 – What Enemy?

Georgetown University Press Crown, Cloak, and Dagger: The British Monarchy
Book SynopsisSurprising revelations about the active role of the monarch in British intelligence The British Royal Family and the intelligence community are two of the most mysterious and mythologized actors of the British State. Crown, Cloak, and Dagger offers a new history of how the two have been inextricably linked from the reign of Queen Victoria to the present. Richard J. Aldrich and Rory Cormac unveil a wealth of archival detail that changes our understanding of the role of the monarch in politics, intelligence, and international relations. Successive queens and kings have all played an active role in steering British intelligence, sometimes against the wishes of prime ministers. Even today, the monarch receives “copy No. 1” of every intelligence report. Attempted assassinations and kidnappings, the abdication crisis, world wars and the Cold War, and the death of Princess Diana are just some of the topics covered in the book. Fascinating and fast-paced, Crown, Cloak, and Dagger demonstrates that the British monarch continues to be far more than a figurehead. This book will inform as well as entertain anyone with an interest in history, espionage, and the royals.Trade ReviewFor both aficionados of the royal family and serious students of the history of intelligence, this is a remarkable and fascinating read, made possible by the author's extraordinary access to royal and official government archives only recently opened to researchers. * New York Journal of Books *Quite interestingly, convincingly, and informatively, Crown, Cloak, and Dagger puts into historical light and context the secret relationship or partnership between the royals and the British intelligence services. * The Cipher Brief *Readers will find Crown, Cloak, and Dagger a page-turner. * CHOICE connect *Table of ContentsBritish Royal Family Tree Since Victoria Introduction: 007 Part I: The Rise and Fall of Royal Intelligence1.

Fonthill Media Ltd SS-Major Horst Kopkow: From the Gestapo to
Book SynopsisOn 27 May 1942, SS General Reinhard Heydrich was assassinated by British-trained Czech agents who had parachuted into Czechoslovakia. He died of his wounds on 4 June 1942. Two days later, Gestapo Captain Horst Kopkow's department at Reich National Security HQ was given fresh directions. From 6 June 1942 until the end of the war, Kopkow was responsible for coordinating the fight against Soviet and British parachute agents dropped anywhere in Germany or German-occupied territories. This new direction for Kopkow made his name. Within months the "Rote Kapelle" Soviet espionage ring was uncovered in Belgium, who could be traced directly to Berlin and Paris. A new counter-espionage fight had begun, and any agents caught would pay with their lives. In France and Holland the Gestapo caught many Special Operations Executive agents trained in Britain. By spring 1944 almost 150 British agents had been caught and deported to German concentration camps, and almost all had been murdered without trial by the December. Kopkow was directly involved in these murders. Arrested by British forces after the war, Kopkow was extensively interrogated due to his counter-espionage experience. For the next 20 years, Kopkow was a consultant for Britain's Secret Intelligence Service.
