Reviews
An excellent resource and is highly recommended. * American Reference Books Annual *
Readers will find in these pages many striking examples of the use of naval intelligence which would have been unknown until recently....This dictionary will inform the general reader about many important and obscure aspects of twentieth-century naval affairs. * s *
This historical dictionary is hence of immense value; its importance cannot be overstated. The dictionary is most comprehensive and covers many topics with which I was unaware, on U.S., British, and German naval intelligence. . .An excellent bibliography on naval intelligence is offered. . .This is the first dictionary devoted solely to naval intelligence. . .The historical dictionary covers subjects not covered anywhere else and is not redundant with any other reference sources. . .The historical dictionary is a most interesting read of a very important and timely subject. It identifies numerous items on naval intelligence. * American Intelligence Journal *
