Secret wars : one hundred years of British intelligence inside MI5 and MI6
2009 will mark the 100th anniversary of Britain’s MI5 and MI6 agencies, two of the oldest and most powerful secret intelligence services in the world. Secret Wars covers a century of triumphs and deceptions: from the last days of the British Empire, to Allied intelligence in World War II and the post-war treachery of Britain’s own agents, the defection of Soviet agents and the process of “handling” them, MI5 and MI6’s often-frigid relationships with the CIA, Mossad, and other European spy organizations, and the roles the agencies play in the development of the fight against biological and space terrorism. Gordon Thomas is the go-to expert on international espionage and the intelligence communities, and he has conducted prodigious research and interviews with significant players, resulting in this rich and delicious page turner
