The Defence of the Realm by Christopher Andrew
To mark the centenary of its foundation, the British Security Service, MI5, has opened its archives to an independent historian. This book reveals the precise role of the Service in twentieth-century British history, since its foundation by Captain Kell of the British Army in October 1909 to root out 'the spies of the Kaiser'.
Christopher Andrew is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Cambridge University and one of the world's leading intelligence historians. His many books include KGB: The Inside Story (with Oleg Gordievsky) and the bestselling The Defence of the Realm: The Authorized Official History of MI5.
