The Fate of the Directorate of Economic Intelligence, Conclusion, AppendicesReviews'An authoritative study of the history of economic intelligence in the UK has been long overdue and this book fills the void. Peter Davies was a professional colleague of mine for many years and an excellent intelligence analyst. In particular his first-hand experience during the Cold War has enabled him to produce a definitive depiction of the work of the Directorate of Economic Intelligence in the Defence Intelligence Staff. His scrupulous research shows how much depended on profound understanding of the economic underpinnings of the Soviet and Warsaw Pact regimes, including their weapons production programmes. Here DEI analysts were usually the first to spot new systems under development. The book is essential reading for any student of British economic history in general and Cold War intelligence in particular.' John N L Morrison, Deputy Chief of Defence Intelligence 1995-99 'Fills a yawning gap in British intelligence history' Michael Herman, Former senior officer GCHQ Cheltenham, Founder Director Oxford Intelligence Group 'Peter Davies has done what he set out to do - to shed light on the Dark Matter of the economic side of defence intelligence in Whitehall, especially during the first Cold War. He combines the rigour of the scholar with the gimlet eye of the insider.'
