NAVAL STAFF INTELLIGENCE
NAVAL STAFF INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT, London, 1918
A very rare, original, WW1 1918 edition of the British Naval Staff Intelligence Department Handbook of Siberia and Arctic Russia. Classified as secret, and with a very restricted circulation, this volume was for official use only and its use was covered by the Official Secrets Act. It is a very detailed and comprehensive survey of all that was known at the time about the topography, peoples, customs, climate, religions, railways, transport, agriculture, natural resources, and industry of Siberia and Arctic Russia in 1918. This book is an invaluable reference work for anyone interested in this region during the First World War.
Naval Staff Intelligence Department:The Naval Intelligence Division (NID) was created as part of the Admiralty War Staff in 1912, and was the intelligence arm of the British Admiralty before the establishment of a unified Defence Intelligence Staff in 1964. It dealt with matters concerning British naval plans, and with the collection of naval intelligence. It was also known as \"Room 39\", after its room number at the Admiralty. The department produced a series of handbooks during WW1 to aid the allied war effort and provide intelligence for officers in all branches of the armed services.
