This innovative study of the status, powers, and activities of MI5 during the Cold War contends that MI5 was subject neither to effective political nor legal scrutiny, and examines the operations of the Security Service for civil liberties, and the contemporary relevance of Cold War practices.

Doelstelling: Als we denken aan spionage, dan zeggen al veel mensen spontaan "James Bond". Maar het beeld van deze filmheld, verzonnen door Brits ex-spion Ian Fleming, strookt niet helemaal met de waarheid. Een geheim agent infiltreert nooit alleen in de vijandige staten om de wereld te redden. Ik wou een duidelijker en realistischer beeld scheppen van de internationale spionage in de 20ste eeuw. Middelen: Internet, boeken over MI5, MI6, de FBI, spionage, de wereldoorlogen, de Koude Oorlog, encyclopedieën, ... Resultaten: In het eerste hoofdstuk komen de geschiedenis en de structuur van de MI5 (de Britse Veiligheidsdienst) en de MI6 (de Britse Geheime Dienst) aan bod. In het tweede hoofdstuk wordt de Cambridge Spy Ring beschreven, een groep dubbelagenten die in de jaren '30 voor de Sovjet-Unie werkten. Hoofdstuk drie beschrijft een van de grootste successen van de Britse spionagediensten, nl. de ontcijfering van de Duitse Enigmacode tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Tot slot wordt in het vierde hoofdstuk de David Shayler-zaak behandeld, een geheim agent van de jaren '90.

The methods developed by British intelligence in the early twentieth century continue to resonate today. Much like now, the intelligence activity of the British in the pre-Second World War era focused on immediate threats posed by subversive, clandestine networks against a backdrop of shifting great power politics. Even though the First World War had ended, the battle against Britain's enemies continued unabated during the period of the 1920s and 1930s. Buffeted by political interference and often fighting for their very survival, Britain's intelligence services turned to fight a new, clandestine war against rising powers Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. Using recently declassified files of the British Security Service (MI5), The Secret War Between the Wars details the operations and tradecraft of British intelligence to thwart Communist revolutionaries, Soviet agents, and Nazi sympathizers during the interwar period. This new study charts the development of British intelligence methods and policies in the early twentieth century and illuminates the fraught path of intelligence leading to the Second World War. An analysis of Britain's most riveting interwar espionage cases tells the story of Britain's transition between peace and war. The methods developed by British intelligence in the early twentieth century continue to resonate today. Much like now, the intelligence activity of the British in the pre-Second World War era focused on immediate threats posed by subversive, clandestine networks against a backdrop of shifting great power politics. As Western countries continue to face the challenge of terrorism, and in an era of geopolitical change heralded by the rise of China and the resurgence of Russia, a return to the past may provide context for a better understanding of the future.

Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, critics have charged that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, while qualified to investigate terrorist incidents after the fact, is not well equipped enough to adequately gather and assess information to prevent attacks. More intrinsically, many believe that given a predominant and deeply rooted law enforcement and prosecutorial culture, the bureau may not be able to change operational focus toward dedicated counterterrorism intelligence gathering and analysis. To better inform debate, researchers analyzed the domestic security structures of
