failures."

(French intelligence newsletter), 24 July 1997.
- "The author gives us a
what appears to be a real picture presenting the intelligence technical
systems and services at the French government disposal. The book, in which the author paid
attention to the slightest detail, is bursting with very precise
information, not to say revelations."
