About the Book

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. Drawing on new sources, only recently declassified in London and Washington, Richard J. Aldrich offers an authoritative documentation on aspects of government that have hitherto been poorly understood. These issues are set in a broad context, demonstrating their impact upon the direction of the Cold War, nuclear weapons policy, decolonization and Britain's relations with major allies.

Table of Contents:
Part I The secret intelligence organizations: the secret intelligence service (MI6); signals intelligence. Part II Scientific and atomic intelligence: scientific and technical intelligence; defectors from the east; atomic intelligence. Part III Service intelligence and "spy-flights": service intelligence; "spy-flights" and aerial reconnaissance. Part IV Management: a world of committees.

Part VI Special operations and "black propaganda": clandestine or "black" propaganda; special operations against Russia in peace; special operations against Russia in a future war; special operations in the Third World.
