Described by a former senior Intelligence official as a
‘long-term thorn in the side of the intelligence
establishment’, Richard Norton-Taylor reveals the secrets of his
forty-year career as a journalist covering the world of spies and
their masters in Whitehall. Early in his career, Norton-Taylor
successfully campaigned against official secrecy, gaining a
reputation inside the Whitehall establishment and the outside world
alike for his relentless determination to expose wrongdoing and
incompetence. His special targets have always been the security and
intelligence agencies and the Ministry of Defence, institutions
that often hide behind the cloak of national security to protect
themselves from embarrassment and accountability. Encouraged by his
trusted contacts in intelligence agencies and Whitehall
departments, Norton-Taylor was among the first of the few
journalists to consistently attack the planned invasion of Iraq in
2003, and subsequently covered the devastating evidence of every
witness in the Chilcot inquiry in the Guardian . With unique access
to a wide array of defence sources, The State of Secrecy offers a
provocative and rare insight into the disputes among top military
commanders as they struggled to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
with under-resourced and ill-equipped troops. Winner of numerous
awards for his journalism, Norton-Taylor is one of the most
respected defence and security journalists of his generation. The
State of Secrecy is an illuminating, critical and provocative
account of the author’s experiences investigating this secret
world.
