Some Questions are never closed

In one of his books former CIA counterintelligence officer William Hood wrote that "There's no statute of limitations on counterespionage, none at all."

The Fall 2004 issue of the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence bears him out. The book review sections cover four new books that go over very old ground. One revisits the Nosenko case from the 1960s. A second defends Victor Rothschild against charges that he was part of the Philby/Blunt conspiracy. The last one looks at two books that take opposing views of Sidney Reilly who may have died in 1925.
