"In Equipping James Bond, Andre Millard provides readers with a hundred-year history of espionage technology through the lens of Ian Fleming's James Bond character and the gadgets integrated into both his novels and films. This book takes a wide-ranging look at factual (as well as fictional) technology, starting with the beginning of military aviation spanning through the contemporary threat of computer hacking. Millard views the fictional James Bond universe--and its wide popularity throughout the twentieth century--as evidence for both popular Whiggish perceptions of technological development as well as the borderline apocalyptic fear of technology's potential threats. As technology developed in the twentieth century, Millard contends, so did the gadgets of the James Bond universe--Bond and his adversaries evolved alongside rapidly developing technology. According to Millard, Bond, Ian Fleming, and the global fandom of the James Bond novels and films were simultaneously enthusiastic about triumphant perceptions of growth and technology and fearful of their potential ramifications"--

The Literary Spy provides a unique view of the intelligence world through the words of its own major figures (and those fascinated with them) from ancient times to the present. CIA speechwriter and analyst Charles E. Lathrop has compiled and annotated more than 3,000 "ations from such disparate sources as the Bible, spy novels and movies, Shakespeare's plays, declassified CIA documents, memoirs, TV talk shows, and speeches from U.S. and foreign leaders and officials. Arranged in thematic categories with opening commentary for each section, the "ations speak for themselves. Together they serve both to illuminate a world famous for its secrets and deceptions and to show the extent to which intelligence has manifested itself in literature and in life. Engaging, informative, and often irreverent, The Literary Spy is an exceedingly satisfying book-one that meets the needs of the serious researcher just as ably as those of the armchair spy in pursuit of an evening's entertainment.

An in-depth investigation of the Romanian secret police's file on M©ơller, winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature, re-creating a "file story" of her surveillance. "Herta M©ơller should share her Nobel with the Securitate." This comment by a former officer in the Romanian secret police, or Securitate, was in reaction to hearing that M©ơller, a German writer originally from Romania, had won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature. Communist Romania's infamous secret police was indeed a protagonist in M©ơller's work, though an undesired and dreaded one: most of her writings are deeply and explicitly anchored in CeauÌ,¡ ™escu's Romania and her own traumatic experiences with the Securitate. M©ơller's file traces her surveillance from 1983 until after she emigrated to West Germany in 1987. She has written extensively in reaction to reading her file, but primarily addresses its gaps, begging the question what information the file does in fact contain. This book is an in-depth investigation of M©ơller's file, and engages with other related files, including that of her then-husband, the writer Richard Wagner. Valentina Glajar treats the files as primary sources in order to re-create the story of M©ơller's surveillance by the Securitate. In such an intrusive culture of surveillance, surviving the system often meant a certain degree of entanglement: for victims, collaborators, and implicated subjects alike. Veiled in secrecy for decades, these compelling and complex documents shed light on a boundary between victims and perpetrators as porous as the Iron Curtain itself.
