TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front.

  • Buster » Crabb, Plongeur De Sa Majeste
    Centre Français de Recherche sur le Renseignement NOTE HISTORIQUE N° 24 LA DERNIERE MISSION DE « BUSTER » CRABB, PLONGEUR DE SA MAJESTE Gérald Arboit Le 9 juin 1957, un corps étêté fut découvert par un pêcheur à proximité de Pilsey Island, une petite île au large de Chichester Harbour, dans le Sussex occidental. Deux éléments intriguèrent les enquêteurs : d’abord, il était revêtu d’une tenue de plongée une pièce de la Avon Rubber Company ; ensuite, ses mains manquaient. Bien que toute identification fût impossible, cette immersion fut reliée à une disparition signalée un an plus tôt, une quinzaine de kilomètres plus à l’est, au large de Portsmouth, dans la nuit du 19 avril 1956. L’affaire avait même tourné en affaire d’Etat après sa divulgation par les médias. Mais ni le Lieutenant Commander William McLanachan, un officier plongeur de la base de Portsmouth, ni la veuve du disparu-présumé, Margaret Elaine Player, avec qui elle n’avait été mariée que quelques mois trois années auparavant1, ni sa compagne au moment de sa disparition, Patricia Rose, ne le reconnurent formellement. Seul un ancien compagnon de plongée, Sydney James Knowles, nota que le disparu, comme le corps mutilé, portait une cicatrice sur le genou gauche. Si elle conserva le dossier ouvert, la police de Chichester n’en annonça pas moins que la dépouille était celle de Lionel Kenneth Philip « Buster » Crabb, quarante huit ans, capitaine de frégate de réserve dans la Royal Navy, officier du British Empire et titulaire de la George Medal2. La découverte du corps du plongeur ne fit pas autant de bruit que sa disparition, un an plus tôt.

  • Confidence Men the Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 By
    Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 by Brett Edward Lintott A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto © Copyright by Brett Edward Lintott, 2015 Abstract Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 Brett Edward Lintott Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto, 2015 This dissertation provides an analysis of the Mediterranean double-cross system of the Second World War, which was composed of a number of double agents who were turned by the Allies and operated against their ostensible German spymasters. Utilizing many freshly released archival materials, this study assesses how the double-cross system was constructed, why it was an effective instrument, and how it contributed to Allied success in two areas: security and counter-intelligence, and military deception. The focus is thus on both organization and operations. The chapters cover three chronological periods. In the first — 1941-42 — the initial operational usage of a double agent is assessed, along with the development of early organizational structures to manage and operate individual cases as components of a team of spies. The second section, covering 1943, assesses three issues: major organizational innovations made early that year; the subsequent use of the double agent system to deceive the Germans regarding the planned invasion of Sicily in July; and the ongoing effort to utilize double agents to ensure a stable security and counter-intelligence environment in the Mediterranean theatre. The third and final section analyzes events in 1944, with a focus on double-cross deception in Italy and France, and on the emergence of more systematic security and counter-intelligence double-cross operations in Italy and the Middle East.

  • Wives of Secret Agents: Spyscapes of the Second World War and Female Agency
    international journal of military history and historiography 39 (2019) 181-207 IJMH brill.com/ijmh Wives of Secret Agents: Spyscapes of the Second World War and Female Agency Claire Hubbard-Hall Bishop Grosseteste University [email protected] Adrian O’Sullivan Independent Scholar [email protected] Abstract Few existing archival records or secondary sources appear to narrate or describe the circumstances, relationships, and activities of “spy wives” during the Second World War. Intelligence historians currently find themselves at a turning point, where new approaches to the writing of intelligence history have been called for that transcend the study of operations and policy, while drawing when necessary upon the method- ologies of such adjacent disciplines as social history and historical geoinformatics. It is therefore surely appropriate to conduct an examination of the hitherto neglected social phenomenon of female agency in the “spyscape” of wartime British and German covert operations. Through an examination of case studies of individual wives of intel- ligence operatives, constructed on the basis of information gathered from scattered primary and secondary sources, it is possible to assemble and analyse a wide, highly differentiated range of gender relationships at the intersection of the manifest and secret worlds. Keywords Abwehr – covert space – espionage – MI6 – soe – spyscape – war – wives © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2019 | doi:10.1163/24683302-03902003Downloaded from Brill.com09/30/2021 10:45:54PM via free access <UN> 182 Hubbard-Hall and O’Sullivan 1 Introduction The experience of women married to spies during the Second World War has routinely been omitted from wartime operational intelligence narratives or in most cases relegated to a mere footnote.

While noting that the interdisciplinary field of intelligence studies has started to theorize intelligence agencies’ agenda-building activities, also observable is a remarkable lacuna from the discipline of Journalism, Media, and Communications. A systematic review of all research articles (up until December 2014) from the archives of sixteen journals in the discipline of Journalism, Media, and Communications confirms this lack of attention. Only 0.1 percent of the discipline’s articles are centrally on the field of the press, intelligence agencies, and agenda-building processes, even when these are broadly defined. Patterns within this tiny field are delineated, comprising intelligence agencies’ techniques of, and success in, manipulating different agenda-building nodes involving the press, journalists’ practices and challenges in dealing with intelligence, the public’s role in press-related agenda building on intelligence issues, and methodological patterns and issues in examining this field.
