The Hidden Hand: Britain, America, and Cold War Secret Intelligence Paperback - 2003
by Richard J. Aldrich
In what former U.S. Ambassador to Britain Raymond Seitz calls "a superlative record of Anglo-American intelligence collection, cooperation, and competition," noted historian Richard Aldrich reveals startling new information about the relationship between Britain and the United States during the Cold War. Making use of the formidable mass of material recently declassified by the United States, as well as files released by the British, Aldrich details the "special relationship" of cooperation between the British and the Americans, as well as the rampant rancor and suspicion that followed this public amity. The timing is perfect for this volume, as interest in secret intelligence soars higher than it has in years.
First line
