Bodyguard
of Lies: The Extraordinary Story Behind D-Day
by Anthony Cave Brown
On June 6, 1944-D-Day-six thousand Allied ships, the largest fleet
in history, arrived off the French coast to begin the liberation of Europe.
To their enormous relief, the Allies had obtained complete tactical surprise;
the Nazi eagle slept. D-Day, which could have been one of history's bloodiest
disasters, became instead one of its greatest victories. How this astonishing
surprise was achieved is the subject of Bodyguard of Lies, one of the most
exciting volumes ever written about the Second World War. Telling the most
complete story of the biggest and most complicated intelligence operation
in the history of war, Bodyguard of Lies presents a large and fascinating
cast of heroes and rogues and sweeps through dozens of dramatic stories
of plot and counterplot, stealth and treachery, lies and deceits. It provides
the full story behind Churchill's agonizing decision not to warn the city
of Coventry that it was about to be destroyed, and follows the deadly cat-and-mouse
games between Allied agents in France and the Gestapo, the near fiasco
of Montgomery's "double," who could not be kept sober, and the heroic but
doomed efforts of the anti-Hitler German underground to eliminate the Fuehrer,
including the role of the chief of the German intelligence service in passing
secrets to the British. These and many more explosive stories, of code
breakers and deceivers, of plots and ruses at the highest and lowest levels,
make up the tapestry of this monumental book. The Publisher.

The
Crown Jewels : The British Secrets at the Heart of the KGB Archives
by Nigel West, Oleg Tsarev
In the early 1920s, the newly founded Soviet Union established intelligence-gathering
networks in several Western European capitals. Initially charged with spying
on White Russians and other enemies of the Bolsheviks, these enclaves soon
turned to collecting information on all kinds of political and economic
activities in their host countries--and also to recruiting foreign nationals
to serve the Soviet regime. The Soviets, write British historian Nigel
West and retired Russian intelligence officer Oleg Tsarev, were especially
successful in Britain, where they were able to make use of a band of disaffected
university-based intellectuals who went into government service and who,
in time, turned from coffeehouse revolutionaries to active traitors: John
Cairncross, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean, and, perhaps most
infamous of them all, Kim Philby. Amazon.com

MI6
: Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service
by Stephen Dorril
MI6, the foreign section of Great Britain's intelligence service, began
life early in the 20th century with the charge of keeping tabs on "Red
Russia," and, soon thereafter, on Nazi Germany. Less effective during World
War II than its American counterpart, the Office of Strategic Services,
MI6 came into its own during the cold war, when Britain's spymasters recruited
bright young public-school intellectuals to play a modern version of the
Great Game against their Soviet counterparts in the KGB and thwart Communist
ambitions around the globe.
The Soviets, writes English historian Stephen Dorril, were often a step
ahead, helped along by British turncoats like Kim Philby, who provided
Stalin with the names of MI6 operatives and later defected. And, like the
CIA, the agents of MI6 were obsessed with conjuring elaborate schemes,
including plots to assassinate Egyptian leader Gamal Abdul Nasser (with
poisoned chocolates) and Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic (by means
of a carefully engineered car crash). Busy planning elaborate endings to
their enemies' lives, the British spies failed to comprehend important
developments as they were happening, from the Belgrade-Moscow split of
the late 1940s to the collapse of the Soviet bloc in the late 1980s.
Such failures, lapses, and scandals have led to repeated calls for dismantling
the agency, especially now that the cold war has ended. Even so, Dorril
writes, MI6 enjoys a privileged position within the British government
and is unlikely to see meaningful reform. Readers who know of British spydom
only through the surprisingly accurate James Bond novels of Ian Fleming
will find Dorril's densely detailed, often scathingly critical book to
be an eye-opener. --Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com

Ultimate Spy Book
by H. Keith Melton, William Colby, Oleg Kalugin
Historian H. Keith Melton is a specialist in 20th-century espionage;
he's also quite a fan of espionage gadgetry. Both interests make strong
showings in this heavily illustrated glimpse into the shadowy world of
modern spying. Melton examines the role of clandestine intelligence in
revolutionary Russia and Nazi Germany, analyzes modern spy rings, and profiles
a number of important figures in the demimonde of spooks, among them British
code breaker Alan Turing and Yugoslav double agent Dusan Popov. He also
showcases some astonishing hardware, ranging from suitcase radios to shirt
button microphones and mechanical pencil pistols. Former CIA director William
Colby and former KGB general Oleg Kalugin, who recruited the American traitor
John Walker, contribute forewords. Amazon.com

Wild Bill and Intrepid : Donovan, Stephenson, and the Origin of CIA
by Thomas F. Troy
Book Description:
In this gripping book, a former Central Intelligence Agency staff officer
unveils the true story of the birth of CIA, arguing that the role of the
British in the CIA`s formation was much more important than has been believed.
Basing his story on interviews with key players and formerly secret American
and British archives, the author addresses controversial claims and notions
about the collaboration between William J. ("Wild Bill") Donovan, the CIA`s
first chief, and William S. ("Intrepid") Stephenson, director of British
intelligence in the U.S. during World War II.
