Courting a Reluctant Ally: An Evaluation of U.S./UK Naval Intelligence Cooperation, 1935-1941

Abstract

As the U.S. Intelligence Community debates how to engage in intelligence cooperation and information sharing with a variety of other countries in the face of non-state malefactors we need not remain without a rudder. Lieutenant Commander Florence demonstrates in this book that the question of how to proceed toward useful information sharing and cooperation can be addressed by exploiting our national archives. His research reveals how a contentious interwar relationship between the U.S. and the UK evolved into a special relationship as information sharing and cooperation in intelligence creation and use became indispensable. This publication highlights the value of historical research carried out by candidates for the degree of Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence. This document is based exclusively on sources available to the public. The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Department of Defense or the U.S. Government. This publication has been approved tor unrestricted distribution by the Directorate tor Freedom of Information and Security Review Washington Headquarters Service.
