It was first published in January 1989 asJane's Soviet Intelligence Review, although a pilot edition had been produced in September the previous year and distributed at theFarnborough Airshowin order to test the market. Uniquely for Jane's—and its then parent company, theThomson Corporation—the magazine carried no advertising but relied on subscription revenue only. It was profitable in its first year of publication and is believed to have remained profitable ever since. Among the first subscribers were the then vice-president of the United States,Dan Quayle, and the authorTom Clancy. Included in the January 1989 issue were articles on theSoviet 2S6air-defence system, the SovietMi-24helicopter and the new commanding general of theGroup of Soviet Forces in Germany, Army GeneralStanislav Postnikov.
In 1991 in response to the breakup of theWarsaw Pact, the magazine changed its title toJane's Intelligence Reviewalthough it had already expanded its coverage to include a special report onIraqin October 1990 following that country'sinvasion 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.
