Bookseller Inventory Ask Seller a Question. Store Description Buckingham Books specializes in new, used and rare books dealing with Mystery and Western Americana, to include Railroading and Ephemeral items. Books in the mystery field include not only Mystery, but also Detective Fiction and Espionage. It was all very exciting. That was nearly 10 years ago. Since then, the relationship between MI5 and the outside world has been transformed. Its work and that of the other intelligence agencies is now subject to parliamentary inspection albeit by a committee appointed by and reporting to the prime minister and there is an annual debate in parliament; we now know far more about its inner workings than ever before. Stella Rimington's memoirs are only the latest step on the long road towards a mature relationship between the security services and the public they exist to serve. Despite the upset she may have caused in certain parts of the establishment, there is nothing here that is likely to cause the least offence to any but the most obtuse of her former colleagues in the secret world.

  • The Miners and the Secret State *
    Lobster 58 The miners and the secret state * Robin Ramsay In his 1987 book Spycatcher former MI5 officer Peter Wright revealed one of MI5’s biggest secrets; but focused as we were on his comments about the plotting against Harold Wilson, we didn’t initially notice the section on page 175 where he wrote that the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB)’s ‘Reuben Falber......had recently been made cashier of the Russian funds.’ Wright tells us that MI5 planned to burgle Falber’s flat in search of the files detailing the payments but their plan failed – and he leaves it there. To MI5 in 1958 the proof of the ‘Moscow gold’ must have had something of the status of the Holy Grail and Wright apparently wanted us to believe that, aware that the CPGB were getting actual cash money from the Soviets, MI5 were either unable to detect the payoffs in London, or, having made one failed attempt, just gave up. This is simply not credible.1 The point is that MI5 knew about the ‘Moscow gold’ and said nothing about it. Had the existence of Soviet funding been revealed in the late 1950s, the CPGB would have been irreparably damaged. But for MI5 this ‘secret’ link to the Soviet Union was too useful a tool for use against the left in the UK, particularly the Labour * This appeared in Granville Williams (ed.) Shafted: The Media, the Miners’ Strike and the Aftermath (London: Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom, 2009) 1 Falber admitted his role in 1991 after details of the Soviet payments were found in files in Moscow.

  • Domestic Intelligence Agencies: the Mixed Record of the UK's MI5
    1634 Eye Street, NW Suite 1100 Washington, DC 20006 (202) 637-9800 http://www.cdt.org Domestic Intelligence Agencies: The Mixed Record of the UK’s MI5 January 27, 2003 Introduction Recently, some have suggested that the U.S., to better respond to terrorist threats, should create a separate domestic intelligence agency modeled after Britain’s Security Service (MI5). In contrast to the FBI, which combines both intelligence and law enforcement powers, MI5 is an intelligence agency with no police powers. It is a collection and analysis agency, expected to hand off information to the police when arrest is appropriate. MI5 has had important successes in preventing terrorism, but a review of press reports on its recent history and current operations indicates that such an agency is no panacea for avoiding intelligence failures or protecting constitutional rights. In the past, MI5 has engaged in “dirty tricks” campaigns and pursued political figures and union leaders in ways reminiscent of the FBI’s investigations of Martin Luther King. More recently, MI5 neglected to follow up on forewarnings it received relating to terrorist attacks and allegedly abused its power while investigating Muslim groups. Regardless of how a country structures its anti-terrorism forces, a crucial challenge is ensuring the effective sharing and analysis of information. The FBI has been criticized for failing to “connect the dots” before 9/11. Yet Britain also has experienced problems with that same issue, as MI5 has failed to share or act in a timely fashion on information it acquired. Similarly, regardless of how the intelligence function is structured in relation to the law enforcement, border control, or protective functions, it is necessary to establish statutory and administrative guidelines defining what “intelligence” is, how it can be collected and what standards apply, in order to protect constitutional rights.

    'SACK THE SPOOKS': DO WE NEED AN INTERNAL SECURITY APPARATUS? PETER GILL Introduction: The Security Totem For fifty years a central concern of the Left has been the development of 'national security states' defined in terms of their political domination by military and security elites and consequent repression of democratic rights.' More recently, however, the focus has shifted to the increase in surveillance and accompanying 'disciplinary' measures employed by both state and non-state organisations, variously described as the rise of '~urveillance'~or 'maximum-security'3 societies. Surveillance practices have developed over centuries within specific institutions - the prison, the factory - but it is only during the last few decades that they have extended from sites of confinement and production to those of consumption. The gathering, collating, buying and selling of personal data is directed at refining marketing and credit-evaluation techniques while the simultaneous mushrooming of CCTV schemes combine in a drive to make cities safe for consumption. Thus 'security' is a totem of the contemporary world and the numbers of those - especially in the private sector - whose livelihood depends in some way on its (or purported provision) grows to anextent matched in few other employment sector^.^ For some, notably Foucault, apparatuses of security are the very heart of modern government - 'g~vernmentality'.~Although modern capitalist states may be choosing to withdraw from various markets through processes of privatisation they still play
