General

Book Reviews. "Fargo's book, already established as the most popular of the three. . . He covers the most territory and has produced an account that is the most lacking in depth and most consciously sensational in content and style." "J. C. Masterman played an important part in this operation and served as its official historian. His book is the report completed in 1945." Cookridge's book "combines the suspenseful narrative qualities of Farago with the professional expertise of Masterman and, in addition, it provides a rare mixture of detached analysis and evaluation with overtones of a strong dislike (perhaps not fully realized by the author himself) of all that Gehlen personified and the subtle but sinister threat that organizations like his present to international order and peace."
