The Hidden Hand: Britain, America, and Cold War Secret Intelligence Hardcover - 2002
by Richard J. Aldrich
Paranoia with respect to Russia raged in the wake of World War II, just as Churchill had foreseen
In what one-time British Ambassador Richard Seitz calls "a superlative record of Anglo-American intelligence collection, cooperation, and competition," noted author Richard Aldrich reveals startling new information about the relationship between Britain and the US during the Cold War: the extent of the US and British covert operation successes-notably in Iran and Guatemala-as well as many costly debacles and follies.
Using the formidable mass of material recently declassified by the US, as well as many files released by the British, Aldrich details the "special relationship" of cooperation between the British and the US, as well as the rampant rancor and suspicion that followed public amity and cooperation in the fight against Nazi Germany and Japan. This is a gripping and highly readable history.
"Aldrich has dug deep. . . . Extraordinarily well researched and judicious, but also lively and full of fascinating detail." (Lawrence Freedman, Sunday Times [of London])
