*Booklist*
Researchers at all levels will be able to use these primary sources
in conjunction with the time line and analysis as a launching point
for their own projects. The encyclopedia rises above the goals of
merely summarizing knowledge. It should remain relevant as a
documentary record for many years, even as its content becomes
dated and the CIA moves forward in its mission in a very
complicated world. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All libraries
and levels.
*Choice*
The book as it stands has plenty of good information and is a
useful contribution to 'espionage studies.'
