Reviews

Robert Henderson:

Kurt Jensen’s well-researched Cautious Beginnings: Canadian Foreign Intelligence 1939-51 sets out the historical case for Canada’s decision in 1951 to not create its own clandestine foreign intelligence service.

Kevin Spooner, Wilfrid Laurier University:

Jensen’s work will prove to be a significant historiographical foundation on which future scholars will undoubtedly build their own studies of intelligence in the later Cold War and post-9/11 periods.

Reg Whitaker:
Kurt Jensen's fine book contributes much to our understanding of the early foundations and evolution of the complex and well-developed security and intelligence world in which Canada finds itself today.
