  Bibliography

  Author’s Note

  In writing this book I have consulted a huge range of titles, many of them narratives of aspects of the conflict, rather than explicitly intelligence-related: thus, some general works are unmentioned below. Meanwhile 1939–45 espionage, codebreaking and guerrilla war form vast literatures of their own. I have read a significant fraction over the past half-century, but list below only titles explicitly relevant to my text. Their inclusion is not an endorsement of their credibility – often, the reverse is the case; it is instead simply a reflection of the fact that I or Dr Lyuba Vinogradovna have read them while researching this work.
