British intelligence in the Second World War

About this book

SECURITY as it was defined by the British war-time Security Executive in 1942 - 'the defence of national interests against hostile elements other than the armed forces of the enemy: in practice against espionage, sabotage and attempts to procure defeat by subversive political activity' - has been almost everywhere a major and a continuing preoccupation of governments and their citizens since the Second World War.
