Reviews
"Full of useful information not only for scholars and practitioners of intelligence, but for any serious newspaper reader." -- Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Chatter, in the New York Review of Books "William Arkin's Code Names will rock the National Security Community. We do not agree on any issue, my problem when we argue is that unlike most of his ilk, he researches the facts thoroughly and has impeccable integrity. Code Names scares the hell out of me because Arkin dredged up so many secrets and turned them into a comprehensive tour of our national security efforts around the globe. This book lays out for the reader what China, Israel, France and Russia probably spent billions trying to find out. It will become the basic reference book for those who study our foreign affairs, unfortunately that includes every spy agency around the world. This book shows the dysfunctional aspects of our all too frequent over-classification process that blocks our agencies from working together, hides waste and stifles debate of important issues. Most of all it proves we need to rethink how we protect our secrets in the information age." -- Charles A. Horner, General USAF (Ret.), commander of coalition air forces in Operation Desert Storm, and former commander, U.S. Space Command Code Names "lays bare for the first time much of the secret infrastructure of defense and intelligence today." -- Steven Aftergood in Secrecy News "William Arkin makes amateurs of all of us who think we know something about America's constantly expanding hidden world. Code Names is quite simply a stunning array of secrets and super-secrets that Arkin has put together in a way that makes it easy for any citizen to comprehend - and decide for himself or herself whether such activities are consistent with democracy and good government." -- Seymour Hersh, "Full of useful information not only for scholars and practitioners of intelligence, but for any serious newspaper reader." -- Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Chatter , in the New York Review of Books "William Arkin's Code Names will rock the National Security Community.

Identifies more than 3,000 codenames used by the U.S. Military since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and details the plans and missions for which they stand.
