The international intelligence collaboration between Britain, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, has shaped global events since its inception - and continues to do so to this day.<br><br>Over eight decades, the alliance's agencies, including the CIA, FBI, MI5, MI6, GCHQ, and ASIO, have swapped secrets and tradecraft, and pooled resources. From Nazi hunters and World War II codebreakers, to spymasters and political leaders embroiled in the recent security crisis around Russia and Ukraine, they have shared a common purpose and common enemy, in spite of a mutual mistrust.<br><br>In this revised and updated edition, Richard Kerbaj expertly weaves together stories of this extraordinary alliance and the unlikely cast of characters who have played a crucial role in its history. Impeccably researched and including interviews with world leaders and intelligence officials, <i>The Secret History of the Five Eyes</i> is a major contribution to the literature of international intelligence.<br><br><b> ____________________________</b><br><br><br><b>'Absolutely brilliant book and very, very timely to read.</b> <b>Tom Holland, </b><i>The Rest Is History </i><br><b><br>'Reveals in great detail how the U.S. intelligence community closed ranks during Trump's first term in office.' </b><i>The Wall Street Journal</i><br><br><br><b>'The story of "this non-binding marriage of convenience" through its most compelling personalities.' </b><br><i><b>The Globe and Mail </b></i><br> <b> <br>'This thought-provoking and informative book suggests that the era of globetrotting lone agents such as James Bond is long gone.' - <i>Sydney Morning Herald</i><br><br>'The stories Kerbaj tells reveal ... a story of failure - of missing warnings that could have prevented atrocities, of misusing intelligence to start a war' - <i>Observer</i> <br><br>'Scintillating ... full of scoops ... by focusing on the human relationships which are the beating heart of the Five Eyes, Kerbaj has made a singular contribution to the intelligence discourse.

His list of interviewees speaks for itself - several former heads of MI5, MI6, GCHQ, the CIA, four former British and Australian prime ministers, and myriad other current and former spooks.
