内容説明
The aim of this book is to describe the history of Britain's counter-subversive agencies and by placing them in their historical context, to assess their broader significance. It tells a story of spies, informers, political policemen, mail interceptors and phone-tappers. The book should be of interest to anyone concerned about present-day issues relating to Britain's "secret state" activities.
