Closely Guarded is written by a man who was privy to some of the most closely guarded state secrets in Canada. From 1942 to 1973, John Starnes was engaged in such areas as communications intelligence and, during his tenure as the first civilian director-general of the RCMP Security Service, in counter-espionage and counter-subversion. His recollection of these confidential activities and the part he played in them is supported by a wealth of formerly classified official documentation recently released under the Access to Information Act.This is a highly personal narrative, brought vividly to life with excerpts from the letters that Starnes wrote home from London during the Second World War, when he moved in intelligence circles and met many prominent diplomats and policy-makers. His story recalls several of the key political moments of this century, including the creation of the United Nations, the glory days of External Affairs, the Six Day War between Israel and Egypt, and the October Crisis in 1970.Starnes's memoir offers a fascinating look at Canada's security and intelligence work from the point of view of an official deeply involved in many covert government activities. It provides an insider's perspective on both the little-known world of the Canadian intelligence community and the international security and intelligence network in which Canada has participated. Written by the author of five spy novels, it will interest those who follow the history of Canada's undercover operations.

"This book investigates the surveillance of the women's liberation movement by the RCMP's Security Service, beginning in the late 1960s and stretching into the mid-1980s during the feminist second wave. It is based upon a close reading of thousands of pages of documents declassified under Canada's Access to Information Act (ATI). Spotted Throughout with Red considers both the machinations of the security service and the rise and fall of the feminist movement, with particular attention paid to its broad transnational origins and influences and the elusive quest for unity across lines of ideology, identity, and sexuality, among other markers of difference. Spying on the women's liberation movement is an example of the broadening of state surveillance from a narrow anti-Communist focus to a variety of domestic targets identified with the left. At the same time, state surveillance of the women's liberation movement, which focused mainly on gender equality, differed from spying on other women's organizations connected to trade unionism or communism. Crucially, the files show how this male-dominated police force, staffed only by men until 1974, had particular expectations and interpretations of the women liberationists' appearance and behaviour which coloured their understanding of a movement intent on sparking a revolutionary reboot of gender relations. They also reveal the use of women informants, which significantly troubles the notion of sisterhood and has potentially serious consequences for those who took part in the movement. The authors reflect on the historiographical, methodological, and ethical challenges associated with using state surveillance files. Rising to the surface is the form and texture of everyday activism and surveillance, and the multiple ways in which those quotidian realities interconnected over time. By positioning surveillance of the women's liberation movement in Canada firmly within the context of the Cold War, the book aims to contribute to scholarship in surveillance studies, widen our understanding of state surveillance during the "long sixties," and to provide a new perspective on the history of feminist activism. More broadly, domestic surveillance of second wave feminism is a critical bridge linking a period that concentrated on communism and subversion in the late 20th century to a focus on terrorism and extremism in the 21st century."--

"In Wartime Images, Peacetime Wounds, Sandra Lambertus asks this question of the media coverage of the largest RCMP operation in Canadian history - the 1995 Gustafsen Lake standoff." "Drawing from extensive newspaper, television, and radio news coverage, legal and law enforcement documents, and ethnographic interviews with journalists, RCMP officers, and Native leaders, Lambertus examines the construction and dissemination of vilifying stereotyped portrayals of Native people. Employing a variety of methodologies including discourse analysis, the investigation shows how the values and perspectives of local communities, media, and law enforcement became overshadowed by those of 'outsiders' during the course of the event. The study culminates with an assessment of the structural elements that contributed to the damaging media portrayals. Provocative and convincingly argued, Wartime Images, Peacetime Wounds opens new avenues for the study of the representation of minorities in the news and for the study of news media in general."--Jacket.
