History

Jane's Soviet Intelligence Review (1989–1991)

Soviet 2S6 air-defence system, the Soviet Mi-24 helicopter and the new commanding general of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, Army General Stanislav Postnikov
.

Jane's Intelligence Review (1991–present)

In 1991 in response to the breakup of the

invasion of Kuwait
.

In July 1993 it published what is thought to be the first open source reference to "Osameh bin Ladin" who "focused his activities on the military side of jihad and poured millions of dollars into training camps." [1] In August 2001 it carried a cover feature on Al Qaeda which documented the "genesis, operational methods and organisational structure of the Bin Laden network.[2]

It was also the source of some of the material plagiarized in the Blair government's infamous "

Dodgy Dossier" concerning Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction.[3]

The magazine in its current form focuses on a range of global security/stability issues, and includes regular features on international security, state stability, terrorism and insurgency, organised crime, and proliferation and procurement. These articles are written by a wide range of expert authors and on-the-ground correspondents.

Jane's Intelligence Review and Jane's International Defence Review were rolled into Janes Defence and Intelligence Review.[4]
