Description - Churchill's Spy Files: MI5's Top-Secret Wartime Reports by Nigel West

The definitive volume of Second World War spy missions using recently declassified material. The Second World War saw the role of espionage, secret agents and spy services increase exponentially as the world was thrown into a conflict quite unlike any that had gone before it. At this time, no one in government was really aware of what MI5 and its brethren did. But with Churchill at the country's helm, it was decided to let him in on the secret, providing him with a weekly report of the spy activities – so classified that he was handed each report personally and copies were never allowed to be made, nor was he allowed to keep hold of them. Even now, the documents only exist as physical copies deep in the archives, many pages annotated by hand by 'W.S.C.' himself. In Churchill's Spy Files acclaimed intelligence expert Nigel West unravels the tales of hitherto unknown spy missions, using this ground-breaking research to paint a fresh picture of the worldwide intelligence scene of the Second World War. AUTHOR: Nigel West has written numerous books on security and intelligence topics and was voted 'The Experts' Expert' by The Observer. He is the recipient of the US Association of Former Intelligence Officers' first Lifetime Literature Achievement Award and has spent many years at the Counterintelligence Centre in Washington DC. His previous books include Churchill's Spy Files and Spycraft Secrets (2017). 20 b/w illustrations
