Book Review

U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis. By Richard Breitman, Norman J. W. Goda, Timothy Naftali, and Robert Wolfe. (Washington: National Archives Trust Fund Board, 2004. 477 pp. Paper, $24.95, ISBN 1-880875-26-8.)

Richard Breitman, Norman J. W. Goda, Timothy Naftali, and Robert Wolfe, sometimes collaborating and sometimes working individually, have written an informative and often fascinating collection of articles in U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis. Using recently declassified American and British intelligence records released under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act of 1998 and working with the Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group, the authors have examined a variety of documents, most from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Army Intelligence, and the State Department. The volume's fifteen articles are divided into three topics: intelligence and the Holocaust, Nazi collaboration, and Allied use of war criminals in the postwar period. The reason for this choice of subjects was based primarily upon the authors' own areas of expertise and what they thought was "new and significant" in these documents (p. 5). Despite the volume's somewhat limited focus, the authors skillfully analyze the inner workings of Allied and pro-Western intelligence collection and dissemination during and immediately after World War II and show how wartime and Cold War governments perceived and used such intelligence.
