What exactly was the relationship between abductor and hostage Why had Natascha waited so long to escape when it seemed there had been other earlier opportunities Did Natascha's parents know Priklopil before he kidnapped their daughter Allan Hall and Michael Leidig have tracked the story from the days of the 10-year-old's disappearance. They have spoken to police investigators lawyers psychiatrists and to the family members closest to Natascha. They have come as close as possible to uncovering the full shocking story.It is a story that tests the limits of our understanding of how human beings behave - and makes our hearts bleed for the plight of an innocent child caught up in a horror story almost beyond our imagining.

‎Classical Spies: American Archaeologists with the OSS in World War II Greece‎

‎Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press 2013 Classical Spies is the first insiders account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World War II Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean the network drew on scholars personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain.

Often mistaken for mild-mannered professors and scholars such archaeologists as University of Pennsylvanias Rodney Young Cincinnatis Jack Caskey and Carl Blegen Yales Jerry Sperling and Dorothy Cox and Bryn Mawrs Virginia Grace proved their mettle as effective spies in an intriguing game of cat and mouse with their Nazi counterparts. Relying on interviews with individuals sharing their stories for the first time previously unpublished secret documents private diaries and letters and personal photographs Classical Spies offers an exciting and personal perspective on the history of World War II. 420p.bibliography.index.

‎ALVAREZ DAVID & EDUARD MARK‎

‎Spying Through A Glass Darkly: American Espionage Against The Soviet Union 1945-1946‎

‎University Press of Kansas Lawrence: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. For the period between World War II and the full onset of the Cold War histories of American intelligence seem to go dark. Yet in those years a little known clandestine organization the Strategic Services Unit SSU emerged from the remnants of wartime American intelligence to lay the groundwork for what would become the CIA and in ways revealed here for the first time conduct its own secret war of espionage and political intrigue in postwar Europe. Telling the full story of this early and surprisingly effective espionage arm of the United States Spying through a Glass Darkly brings a critical chapter in the history of Cold War intelligence out of the shadows. Constrained by inadequate staff and limited resources distracted by the conflicting demands of agencies of the U.S. government and victimized by disinformation and double agents the Strategic Services Unit struggled to maintain an effective American clandestine capability after the defeat of the Axis Powers. Never viscerally anti-communist the Strategic Services Unit was slow to recognize the Soviet Union as a potential threat but gradually it began to mount operations often in collaboration with the intelligence services of Britain France Italy Denmark and Sweden to throw light into the darker corners of the Soviet regime. Bringing to bear a wealth of archival documents operational records interviews and correspondence David Alvarez and Eduard Mark chronicle SSU's successes and failures in procuring intelligence on the capabilities and intentions of the Soviet Union a chronicle that delves deeply into the details of secret operations against Soviet targets throughout Europe: not only in the backstreets of the divided cities of Berlin and Vienna but also the cafes hotels offices and salons of such cosmopolitan capitals as Paris Rome Budapest Prague and Warsaw. A remarkable account of a clandestine war of espionage kidnappings blackmail disinformation and political subversion Spying through a Glass Darkly also describes the quantity and quality of intelligence collected by SSU and disseminated to its "customers" in the U.S. government �information that would influence the attitudes and actions of decision makers and as the Cold War evolved the course of the nation in a new and dangerous world. David Alvarez is professor emeritus of politics at Saint Mary's College of California and a former scholar-in-residence at the National Security Agency. He has published many books including three with Kansas: Secret Messages: Codebreaking and American Diplomacy 1930-1945; Spies in the Vatican: Espionage and Intrigue from Napoleon to the Holocaust; and The Pope's Soldiers: A Military History of the Modern Vatican. At the time of his death in 2009 Eduard Mark was senior historian in the Office of Air Force History. He published a number of groundbreaking articles on Cold War history as well as two books Aerial Interdiction: Air Power and the Land Battle in Three American Wars and Defending the West: The United States Air Force and European Security 1946-1998. "Poses a fresh challenge to revisionists about the origins of the Cold War Scholars of intelligence U.S. foreign relations and the Cold War will find this work valuable."�Journal of American History "The product of prodigious research in a dizzying array of sources this volume is both a meticulously detailed study of the organizational and operational history of the Strategic Services Unit and a superb primer in how to tease information from often stingy archives."�Diplomatic History University Press of Kansas, Lawrence: 2016 hardcover‎
