Authors Huchthausen (Soviet naval analyst, retired) and Sheldon-Duplaix (researcher/lecturer, Defense Staff College, Paris) have written a comprehensive volume on the development of Cold War naval intelligence from the end of World War II to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Their primary sources, many of them unique, add new information to a variety of topics with very familiar names, such as the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Affair, the Profumo Affair, and the Baltic mutiny that was the basis for the book Hunt for Red October.
