Defending the Realm: Inside MI5 and the War on Terrorism

Updated and expanded with brand new material on the War on Terrorism, including insider reports on the Bali bombing, discussion of M15's tragic lack of intelligence on September 11th, and how it is now regarded as a massive intelligence failure.
