'Sensationally good ... A riveting story, the real-life spooks and spies far more compelling than anything you will see on the screen ... history doesn't come more fascinating than this' Evening Standard
For over 100 years, the agents of MI5 have defended Britain against enemy subversion. Their work has remained shrouded in secrecy - until now.
This first-ever authorized account reveals the British Security Service as never before: its inner workings, its clandestine operations, its failures and its triumphs.
'Definitive and fascinating ... whether reporting on Hitler in the 1930s, the Double-Cross System of the second world war, Zionist terrorism, the atom spies, the Cambridge spies, the so-called Wilson plot or the 1988 shooting of the IRA bombers in Gibraltar, this book is essential reading' Alan Judd, Spectator
'The British Secret Service has opened its archives - and even 'insiders' may be in for a surprise ... magisterial ... extremely readable' Oleg Gordievsky, The Times
'Compelling ... a feast' Max Hastings, Sunday Times
'A superb account ... He has captured every important detail of the Service ... unlikely to be surpassed for another 100 years' Simon Heffer, Daily Telegraph

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Soft cover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1070 Pages total including Preface, TOC, etc. Good condition, no markings, mild tropical speckling to flyleaves and edges. The British Security Service, MI5, has for the first time opened its archives to an independent historian. The book reveals the precise role which MI5 wishes to project in 20th-century British history, from its foundation by Captain Kell of the British Army in October 1909, through two world wars, up to and including its present roles in counterespionage, false flags & counterterrorism. The book also describes how MI5 has been managed, what its relationship has been with government and how it was infiltrated by Soviet agents. Defend the Realm also reveals the identities of previously unknown enemies of the United Kingdom whose activities have been uncovered by the Service, adds significantly to our knowledge of many celebrated events and notorious individuals, and definitively lays to rest a number of persistent myths. Above all, it shows the place of this previously extremely secretive organization within the United Kingdom, although it fails to fully develop a critical analysis of the role of MI5 in subverting Trade Unions and the UK Labour Party.
