During World War II, Britain enjoyed spectacular success in the
secret war between hostile intelligence services, enabling a
substantial and successful expansion of British counter-espionage.
Hugh Trevor-Roper's experiences working for the Secret Intelligence
Service (MI6) during the war had a profound impact on him and he
later observed the world of intelligence with particular sharpness.
To him, the subjects of wartime espionage and the complex espionage
networks that developed in the Cold War period were as worthy of
profound investigation and reflection as events from the more
distant past. Expressing his observations through some of his most
ironic and entertaining correspondence, articles and reviews,
Trevor-Roper wrote vividly about some of the greatest intelligence
characters of the age - from Kim Philby and Michael Straight to the
Germans Admiral Canaris and Otto John. Including some previously
unpublished material, this book is a sharp, revealing and personal
first-hand account of the intelligence world in World War II and
the Cold War.
