REVIEWS


Monitoring the World collections are essential primary documents for researchers of 20th-century British intelligence and excellent resources for anyone with an interest in World War I, World War II, or early Cold War strategy. In addition to its stellar content, the database has discoverability options and user features that are sensible and helpful. By and large, the module is an outstanding complement to the “Intelligence Empire” series and enhances the excellent Declassified Documents Online database.
