Understanding Intelligence in the Twenty-First Century: Journeys in Shadows (London: Routledge, 2004)
Over the past few
decades, international history and security were
significantly influenced by greater understanding of the
role of intelligence in national security and foreign policy
making. In Britain, much of the work has developed in the
sub-discipline of international history with its
methodological predisposition towards archive-based
research. Advances in archival disclosure, accelerated by
the end of the Cold War, as well as by the changing
attitudes of official secrecy and the work of the
intelligence services, have further facilitated research,
understanding and debate. Recent controversies, including
claims of politicisation of intelligence historiography,
have added additional public saliency to long-standing
academic disputes. The events of September 11 and their
aftermath have shown the value and limits of secret
intelligence and generated fresh controversies for
proponents and critics.
This book examines critically the development of
intelligence studies and assesses its contribution to the
study of international relations. It draws upon the
viewpoints of leading academics, journalists and former
practitioners to explore the way the subject is studies, for
what purposes and with what consequences.

Intelligence, Crises and Security: Prospects and Retrospects (London: Routledge, 2008)
This collection of essays by leading experts seeks to explore what lessons for the exploitation and management of secret intelligence might be drawn from a variety of case studies ranging from the 1920s to the ‘War on Terror’.
Long regarded as the ‘missing dimension’ of international history and politics, public and academic interest in the role of secret intelligence has continued to grow in recent years, not least as a result of controversy surrounding the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11 2001.
Intelligence, Crises and Security addresses a range of themes including: crisis management, covert diplomacy, intelligence tradecraft, counterterrorism, intelligence ‘overload’, intelligence in relation to neutral states, deception, and signals intelligence. The work breaks new ground in relation to numerous key international episodes and events, not least as a result of fresh disclosures from government archives across the world.

Click here for a review of Exploring Intelligence Archives
This edited volume brings together many of the world's leading scholars of intelligence with a number of former senior practitioners to facilitate a wide-ranging dialogue on the central challenges confronting students of intelligence.
The book presents a series of documents, nearly all of which are published here for the first time, accompanied by both overview and commentary sections. The central objectives of this collection are twofold. First, it seeks to build on existing scholarship on intelligence in deepening our understanding of its impact on a series of key events in the international history of the past century. Further, it aims to explore the different ways in which intelligence can be studied by bringing together both scholarly and practical expertise to examine a range of primary material relevant to the history of intelligence since the early twentieth century.
