About This Item
London: The Bodley Head , 1989. Hardcover. Fair/good. Fair/Good. The author's now classic in-depth look at the murky world of security agents and the dirty tricks they carry out in our name. He argues that most espionage is ultimately fruitless and asks, for instance, whether MI5's record on spy-catching can justify its frequent - and flagrant - breaches of law and civil liberties. He uncovers a mass of ineptitude and corruption behind some famous intelligence tales, including those of Geoffrey Prime's 15-year spying career, and that of Hilda Murrell, an active anti-nuclear supporter. Rusbridger spares no one, and no political side - MI5, the CIA and the KGB are all examined under the same critical microscope. A fascinating and essential read for Cold War historians and anyone interested in espionage and counter-espionage activities. Contains 278 pages, 24 x 15cm, with 8 pages of b&w photos. Ex-library, front endpaper removed, some library marks. Red cloth boards in Good illustrated dust jacket. Internally, Fair: generally clean and unmarked in excellent bindings.
