Book description
Reflections on Intelligence follows up Most Secret War, Professor Jones’ classic memoir of British scientific intelligence from 1939-45. It reveals much that could not be told when that book was published and includes the details, and names the author, of the single most important document to fall into Allied hands – the Oslo Report. It also contemplates official secrecy, the uses of deception and security and the ethics of intelligence. Repudiating the notion that the intelligence game is necessarily a dirty and devious one – though there is ample scope for cloak and dagger men – this book clearly and provocatively outlines the secret profession’s right and proper practice.
