The Soviet Secret Services (1956) By Otto Heilbrunn
Espionage, subversion, infiltration, and sabotage are shown by an analysis of Soviet case material to be Soviet instruments of war. The author considers Soviet intelligence work in Germany in WW II to be a classic in espionage. He sees psychological warfare in all its aspects as a new usage of war. His fundamental position is that we must assess the Russian clandestine war potential, must be able to deal with it, and must ourselves be able to wage 'a war without a battlefield.'
Analysis of Soviet espionage practices in Germany during World War II. Author Otto Heilbrunn (1906-1969) studied the Communist world's insurgency tactics in depth; educated in Germany, he was U.S. Assistant Counsel at the Nuremberg War Crimes, and later, in service to the British War Office, at the Manstein trial. This detailed study of the Soviet Secret Service addresses problems of national security in the nuclear age, and importantly, gives due attention to much-ignored disaffection in the developing world as well as the power of psychological warfare as instruments of war. A milestone.
