Turkish Intelligence & The Cold War will broaden many readers knowledge of Turkish intelligence. A worthwhile contribution to the literature. * Studies in Intelligence * In April 1957 US Ambassador Fletcher Warren burst into Prime minister Menderes’s cabinet meeting to try and prevent him from taking military action in Syria. Menderes had to make a hard choice. This is one of the more dramatic moments in Egemen Bezci’s new book Turkish Intelligence and the Cold War. * Duvar English * Overall, the book is highly likely to be beneficial for scholars and students who are interested in Cold War history, Middle Eastern history, Turkish history and Intelligence Studies. It focuses on an under-studied topic, challenges the conventional wisdom and makes a significant contribution to the literature. * Middle Eastern Studies * Turkish Intelligence and the Cold War is unique in several ways, it gets us to think about the Cold War from outside the simple binary of the East-West divide, enables us to examine non-Western approaches to espionage and gets us to analyse how weaker powers respond to the asymmetrical relationships. * The New Arab * A useful contribution to the intelligence literature, in particular on the subject of international intelligence cooperation and the role of intelligence in foreign policy. * Intelligence and National Security *
