Espionage, Security and Intelligence in Britain 1945-1970 (Documents in Contemporary History)

Attempts to offer a sound documentation of the post-war development, activities, and significance of the British secret service, from the end of WWII through 1970. Instead of a chronological survey tracing developments over time, a functional approach has been taken which emphasizes the roles and responsibilities of different services and departments. Contains sections on organizations, scientific and atomic intelligence, spy flights, management, security, special operations and "black" propaganda, and liaison and deception.
