Espionage, Security and Intelligence in Britain 1945-1970 (Documents in Contemporary History)

By Richard J. Aldrich

Book Overview

In postwar Britain, the secret services were more anxious to remain in the shadows than those of any other Western country. This volume suggests that, although discreet, they were not marginal or peripheral. They were, instead, central to British policy making and implementation. Human espionage, signals intelligence, internal security, counter-subversion, special operations and black propoganda were all brought to bear on Britain's problems, and were co-ordinated at the highest level.
