A gripping history of the Security Service and its covert surveillance on British writers and intellectuals in the twentieth century. In the popular imagination, MI5—or the Security Service—is known chiefly as the branch of the British state responsible for chasing down those who pose a threat to the country's national security, from Nazi fifth columnists during the Second World War to Soviet spies during the Cold War and today's domestic extremists. Yet, aided by the release of official documents to the National Archives, David Caute argues in this radical and revelatory history of the Security Service that suspicion often fell on those who posed no threat to national security.
