Historical Dictionaries of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, No. 1

Praise for the author:

“His information is so precise that many people believe he is the unofficial
historian of the secret services. West’s sources are undoubtedly excellent. His
books are peppered with deliberate clues to potential front-page stories.”

—SundayTimes(UK)

Launching a new series—Historical Dictionaries of Intelligence and
Counterintelligence—this book examines the shadowy world of spies and provides
the most detailed, comprehensive, and accurate information available on a
topic that has proved notoriously difficult to research. TheHistoricalDictionary
ofBritishIntelligenceoffers 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.

NigelWestis a military historian specializing in intelligence and security
issues, the European editor of the InternationalJournalofIntelligenceand
Counterintelligence, a lecturer at the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security
Studies, and the author ofTheThirdSecretandMortalCrimes. It would be difficult
to find a more suitable author for this historical dictionary. Mr. West has been
writing about intelligence and security issues for several decades, producing
about twenty books on the British, Russian, and other secret services. He has
also lectured extensively on the subject, was voted “the expert’s expert” by a
panel of spy writers selected byTheObserver, and recently received the first
Lifetime Literature Achievement Award from the U.S. Association of Former
Intelligence Officers.
