Neither Confirm nor Deny

Thomas A. Schwartz, author of Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography:
Neither Confirm nor Deny is an extraordinary account of one of the most important moments in the history of the CIA, the Glomar Explorer Mission. Likely to become a classic in the field of the history of intelligence, Neither Confirm nor Deny vividly underlines the continuing tensions that exist between democratic transparency and the American national security state.

Kathryn Olmsted, author of The Newspaper Axis: Six Press Barons Who Enabled Hitler:
Bennett shows why the story of the Glomar Explorer is not only filled with exciting characters and twists, it’s also a key moment in the history of the U.S. government’s refusal to disclose information to the voters.

Hugh Wilford, author of The Mighty Wurlitzer: How the CIA Played America:
This is intelligence history as it should be written: packed with new archival findings and thrillingly narrated yet also deeply engaged with the latest scholarship in the wider fields of U.S. history and America in the world. A must-read for academic historians and espionage buffs alike.
