Description: "The Historical Dictionary of British Intelligence offers insight into the history and operations of British Intelligence through its more than 1,800 entries on a vast and varied cast of characters (spies and their handles, moles and defectors, political leaders, and top brass), techniques and jargon, offices and organizations, agencies, operations (including double-agent and deception campaigns), and events. This historical dictionary, featuring thirty-nine photographs, an extensive chronology, and a comprehensive bibliography, contains the most up-to-date declassified material but is written in an easy-to-read style, perfect for professional and general readers alike."--Jacket.
