Focusing on the intelligence issue the book indeed becomes an invaluable work to be a reference for not only scholars or pundits but also to many activists whom struggle to get balance of power domestically or internationally.

To be honest most Indonesian pundits who I met agree that your thought-provoking book has been inspiring people, particularly in relation to those in fascinated topics. , Jefferson Adams's addition to the series of dictionaries on intelligence and counterintelligence published by The Scarecrow Press is a valuable resource and narrative of the complex history of German intelligence....This book is the best resource in English....This book is invaluable for scholars and practitioners dealing with Germany., The Historical Dictionary series on intelligence services is intended to provide a single reference that covers the missions, personnel, operations, organizations, and technical terms that define the services of various countries.

Synopsis
No country can rival the sheer diversity of intelligence organizations that Germany has experienced over the past 300 years. Given its pivotal geographical and political position in Europe, Germany was a magnet for foreign intelligence operatives, especially during the Cold War. As a result of this, it is no wonder that during certain periods of history Germany was probably busier spying on its own citizens than on its enemies. Because of the Gestapo and the SS of Nazi Germany to the Stasi of the German Democratic Republic, the fear of domestic abuse by security agencies with police powers runs far deeper in German society than elsewhere in the West. The Historical Dictionary of German Intelligence presents the turbulent history of German intelligence through a chronology, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the agencies and agents, the operations and equipment, the tradecraft and jargon, and many of the countries involved. No military reference collection is complete without it., The Historical Dictionary of German Intelligence presents the turbulent history of German intelligence through a chronology, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the agencies and agents, the operations and equipment, the tradecraft and jargon, and many of the countries involved.
