- Among the most prominent examples: the Vasily Mitrokhin Archive (MA) and Aleksandr
Vassiliev’s Notebooks, published by the Woodrow Wilson Center (http://digitalarchive.
wilsoncenter.org/collection/86/Vassiliev-Notebooks). - Shimon Golan, Decision Making of Israeli High Command in Yom Kippur War, Tel Aviv:
Ma’arakhot (IDF publishing ) and Modan, 2013, and Oren, History, “clarify” (both on
p. 4) that the: “IDF documents that this book rests upon are internal documents which
are not necessarily open for study to the general public.” - Many of these, which were first published in DR, are cited here from subsequent and more
easily accessible publications, particularly FRUS and SAR. - In the most flagrant case, FRUS J-XIX, no. 75, of which no content, nor even a title, date
or origin is reproduced, we concluded that such a non-document could have been included
only as a veiled protest by the editors at excessive sanitizing. One of the editors confirmed
to us that this was indeed their intent. Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez, “Too Little, Too
