... valuable, because books on MI5 are rare commodities, it gives a totally distorted picture of what MI5 is about. Reading West's account one has the impression that MI5 is primarily concerned with dealing with defectors and imaginary moles. Wright's Spycatcher topples that idea very easily. West fails to mention all those areas which made Spycatcher so interesting: the surveillance of political groups, of embassies, liaison with GCHQ, the use of computers, operations abroad, contacts with the CIA etc. The picture is less distorted when we look at MI6 - there are more sources. Quite rightly, Cavendish suggests that Anthony Verrier's 'Through The Looking Glass' is the best. It is choc full of ...

... as the ultimate tail. In US-Israel relations, the issue came to a head during the Yom Kippur war of October 1973. As Pulitzer-winning New Yorker columnist and author, Seymour Hersh has established: 'Sometime in this period, the American Intelligence community got what apparently was its first look, via the KH-11 [surveillance satellite], at the completed and operational [Israeli nuclear] missile launchers hidden in the side of a hill.... The launchers were left in the open, perhaps deliberately, making it much easier for American photo-interpreters to spot them. '( 12) This took place under heavy US pressure on Israel to ...

... the Mafia notoriously say, 'things change' but it looked, by May Day, that deadlines were being set. Blair has set a framework for terrorism and security that Brown might well adapt to his requirements but is unlikely to change fundamentally. Intelligence-based policing, the framework for an eventual introduction of investigating judges, a culture of surveillance (such as identity cards) and the centralisation of all aspects of internal security will be in position for wider implementation. Ordinary citizens are going to be stopped, questioned and watched more regularly. What this means on the ground Even if the Prime Minister at the centre controls overall policy, whoever runs the Home Office will, under ...

... Crash. Other pro-German sympathisers supported the Nazi regime as they believed it effectively combated the threat of Communism and blocked further Soviet expansion. Unlike other books on Fascism, which study the movement as a whole, Griffiths' book concentrates on individuals, and how particular British Fascists or fellow-travellers reacted to the war with Germany, surveillance by the state, and the threat of internment. In his conclusion, Griffiths states that the responses to the changed situation after the declaration of war were so varied, that it is impossible to make any generalisations. Nevertheless, the pro-Nazis did react in a number of general ways. Many Fascists, following Ben Greene in ...
