About This Item
New York: Allen Lane - An Imprint of Penguin Books, 2009. Assumed First Edition . Hard Back. Fine/Fiine. 6 1/4" X 9 1/2. 228 Pages Indexed. Book and jacket are protected by Demco Polyfit vinyl since day of purchase. A military book colllector's dream. An unprecedented publishing event: to mark the centenary of its foundation, the British Security Service, MI5, has for the first time opened its archives to an independent historian. The book reveals the precise role of the Security Service in twentieth-century British history, from its foundation by Captain Kell of the British Army in October 1909, through two world wars, up to and including its present roles in counterespionage and counterterrorism. The book describes how MI5 has been managed, what its relationship has been with government, where it has triumphed, and where it has failed. In all of this no restriction has been placed on the judgments made by the author. A large heavy book 2 ½ inches thick that will incur additional shipping charges to some locations.
