I read this book as a fill in between two novels, and the book is clear and concise in what it's trying to publicise. The main feature, as you might expect, is Mildenhall AFB, the home of UK AF logistics and refuelling etc. The writer details how Mildenhall isn't just like that though: SR71s etc used to lye hidden in the depths of the place. This book, though with not alot of writing, is concise, and is a fantastic read if you just wanna be there for yourself and not read page after page. Well done Osprey! Yet another fantastic Superbase!

The Center for the Study of Intelligence (CSI) was founded in 1974 in response to Director of Central Intelligence James Schlesinger’s desire to create within CIA an organization that could “think through the functions of intelligence and bring the best intellects available to bear on intelligence problems.” The Center, comprising professional historians and experienced practitioners, attempts to document lessons learned from past operations, explore the needs and expectations of intelligence consumers, and stimulate serious debate on current and future intelligence challenges.
