A documentary history of how intelligence influenced Britain's policy response to key 20th century events. For more than 50 years, the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) has been central to the secret machinery of the British Government, acting as a broker between the realms of the spy and the policy-maker. These 18 case studies look at key moments in the JIC's history, from WWII to the War in Iraq andfrom the Falklands to the IRA. Each case study includes a contextualising introduction, a full reproduction of an original document that influenced the government's policy response to a particular situation and explanatory footnotes. | Spying On The World by Richard J.
