Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 ABSTRACT Churchill's interest in secret signals intelligence (sigint) is now common knowledge, but his use of intercepted diplomatic telegrams (bjs) in World War Two has only become apparent with the release in 1994 of his regular supply of Ultra, the DIR/C Archive. Churchill proves to have been a voracious reader of diplomatic intercepts from 1941-44, and used them as part of his communication with the Foreign Office. This thesis establishes the value of these intercepts (particularly those Turkey- sourced) in supplying Churchill and the Foreign Office with authentic information on neutrals' response to the war in Europe, and analyses the way Churchill used them.

  • Counterintelligence in the Kingdom and the States
    Counterintelligence in the Kingdom and the States A Historical Comparison of the FBI and MI5 Matthew Kalkavage Master’s Thesis Advisor: Professor Arthur Hulnick Submitted: April 14, 2014 Executive Summary The United States and the United Kingdom have different kinds of organizations to defend their national security from espionage and terrorist threats. The US relies on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a law enforcement agency with counterintelligence functions, while the UK depends on the Security Service (MI5), a purely counterintelligence agency without law enforcement powers, to meet these challenges. The purpose of this paper is to examine the benefits, detriments, and the key motivations behind each system’s development for the sake of showing that MI5 has ultimately served the UK better than the FBI has served the US in the realm of counterintelligence. The historical trajectory of the Security Service is one of constant honing of counterintelligence work from its very inception. The history of the FBI reveals an organization that was initially established for law enforcement purposes and has never completely abandoned its preference for that mission amid US governmental pressure to become more intelligence- driven in times of international crisis (especially during World War I, World War II, and parts of the Cold War). The counterintelligence practices of the Service and the Bureau throughout their histories illustrate the deficiencies and proficiencies of each, which mutually contribute to the understanding of key counterintelligence qualities that are presented in the final chapter. These attributes are an overall penchant for secrecy, an external orientation, and a preventative operational culture.

    BqEst Historial Ran © 1986 Longman Group Limited London 0015-B266/86/18310635/J03.00 Counter-espionage and security in Great Britain during the First World War IN August 1914 there were two distinct organizations in Britain concerned with counter-espionage. The first was a small and very secret group of army officers with the designation MO(t), which had been working outside the War Office with substantial independence, and which managed to retain its freedom of action after the outbreak Downloaded from of war. These officers worked under the command of Major Vernon Kell, who had founded the unit in October 1909 as part of the government's Secret Service Bureau; and although on mobilization they were absorbed by the War Office as subsection MOj(g) of the Directorate of Military Operations, this was only an administrative http://ehr.oxfordjournals.org/ manoeuvre — Kell's group in fact remaining 'outside the War Office, retaining only one room in the main building as a post office.'1 This small group of experts - which on 4 August 1914 included only nine officers - existed officially 'to expose and frustrate the clandestine activities of enemy aliens under whatever form they may be en- countered'2 and was free to develop its investigations in whichever direction its commander thought fit. In the years before the war this independence had allowed Kell to establish links with numerous at University of Technology Sydney on April 19, 2012 permanent civil servants and police officers, and to carry out investiga- tions of resident German and Austro-Hungarian aliens in such secrecy that in 1914, as his deputy Eric Holt Wilson recalled, 'even the Chiefs of the Fighting Services and Secretaries of State were scarcely aware of the existence of this immensely powerful and complete Security organization.'3 The second unit concerned with counter-espionage was the Special Branch of the Criminal Investigation Department at 1.

He was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1900 and served for nearly twenty years in Portsea. In 1919 he was ordained bishop of Southwark where he became an expert on housing and other social problems in south London.

He was an efficient administrator and he took on new roles as a popular speaker and writer on religious issues and as an international ambassador for the Anglican Church. Among the countries Garbett visited were Russia, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, the United States, Palestine, Australia, New Zealand and the Straits Settlements. He was 76 when he toured Australia and nearby countries but he maintained a busy schedule, travelling nearly 10,000 miles by plane and car, staying at 30 places, and delivering 80 sermons and addresses.

  • A Brief History of the Tongan Military from the Late Nineteenth Century to the Present
    TAU: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE TONGAN MILITARY FROM THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY May 2019 Amanda L. SullivanLee Thesis Committee: David Hanlon, Chairperson David Chappell John Rosa i © Amanda L. SullivanLee ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the origins of the modern Tongan Military from the establishment of the Tongan monarchy in 1875 to the Military’s most recent engagements into the 21st Century. This thesis offers an overview of the existing literature on Tongan history and military as well as an overview of contemporary literature that critiques militarization in the Pacific. Through a historical and critical lens, I examine the Tongan Military’s participation in WWI, WWII, the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI), the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the quelling of the 2006 Democracy Riots. Chapter one focuses on the establishment of Tonga as a British Protectorate, chapter two offers an account of Tonga’s involvement in WWI, chapter three extends this account with an exploration of WWII, and chapter four offers a look at more contemporary engagements of the Tongan Military. By tracing the country’s military, this thesis centers on exploring two main questions: for whom is the Tongan military fighting, and what impacts does Tongan participation in foreign military campaigns have on the island kingdom’s sovereignty? iii Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the support of my supportive and dedicated committee.
