Stephen M. Harris

Inhaltsangabe

Cryptologia- " an excellent book with 11 organisational charts of
intelligence units, four maps, an extensive bibliography including archival
sources plus a competent index."
The Journal of Military History
"Stephen Harris"s book is the most formidable and scholarly account yet
written about British intelligence operations in the Crimean War. The basic
conception is original and interesting; the issues are real and clearly
conceived; the sources used unrivalled in extent; and the entire treatment
rests on an exceptional combination of perspicacity and sensitivity, both
of thought about, and feeling for, intelligence operations."
Soldiers of the Queen, Vol. 98 (Sept. 1999)
"Attractively produced ... it is an interesting and competent work and is
definitely recommended to all students of the Russian war."
Choice, Vol. 37, No. 2, Oct. 99
"Harris ... has done an excellent job of analyzing and comparing the
various intelligence reports available to Lord Ragland and his successor in
the Crimea."
RUSI Journal, Feb 2000
"This admirable, slim book has a simple thesis ... The book is a welcome
revision of the stereotype of British intelligence buffoonery. For military
historians it contributes to the changing views of Crimean generalship ...
But the book is full of material with a bearing on modern intelligence
doctrine."
The International History Review, Vol 22, No 2, June 2000
"Harris has done a careful and commendable job."
Indiana University Victorian Studies
"Harris"s specialized study is competently written and well-researched
