CiNii 図書 - Espionage, security, and intelligence in Britain, 1945-1970

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.

内容説明

This book takes the concept of postmemory, developed in Holocaust studies, and applies it for the first time to novels by contemporary British writers. Focusing on war fiction, Alden builds upon current scholarship on historical fiction and memory studies, and extends the field by exploring how the use of historical research within fiction illuminates the ways in which we remember and recreate the past. Using postmemory to unlock both the transgenerational aspects of the novels discussed and the development of historiographic metafiction, Alden provides a ground-breaking analysis of the nature and potential of contemporary historical fiction. By examining the patterns and motivations behind authors' translations of material from the historical record into fiction, Alden also asks to what extent such writing is, necessarily, metafictional. Ultimately, this study offers an updated answer to the question that historical fiction has always posed: what can fiction do with history that history cannot? -- .
