The Defence of the Realm, The Authorized History of MI5
An unprecedented publishing event: to mark the centenary of its foundation, MI5 has for the first time opened its archives to an independent historian. The resulting book will reveal the precise role of MI5 in 20th century British history, from its foundation in 1909, through two world wars, up to and including its present roles in counter espionage and terrorism. It promises to reveal much new information, add significantly to our understanding of major events and individuals, and perhaps lay to rest a few persistent myths. Review, serialisation and media coverage is sure to be significant for what is undoubtedly one of the biggest history books of 2009.
