Win 1 of 15 signed copies of The Secret History of the Five Eyes by Richard Kerbaj.

The Secret History of the Five Eyes is a riveting narrative of the most powerful and least understood intelligence alliance, which has been steeped in secrecy since its formation in 1956.
 
Richard Kerbaj, an award-winning investigative journalist and filmmaker, bypasses the usual censorship channels to tell the definitive account of authoritative but unauthorised stories of the Western world's most powerful but least known intelligence alliance made up of the US, Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. As Kerbaj shows, spy stories are never better than when they are true - and these span from 1930s Nazi spy rings to the most recent developments in Ukraine and China.
 
Through personal interviews with world leaders - including British Prime Ministers Theresa May and David Cameron - and more than 100 intelligence officials, this book explores the complex personalities who helped shape the Five Eyes. They include a Scotland Yard official who became a spymaster and inspired the first exchanges between MI5 and the FBI; an American home economics teacher who helped create one of the most effective programmes to counter Soviet espionage; the CIA's lone officer in Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution; GCHQ's chief during the Edward Snowden intelligence leak and the Australian politician turned diplomat whose tip-off to the FBI instigated the inquiry into Russia's meddling in the US presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016.
 
This page-turning book will lift the lid on spy stories from across the English-speaking world, questioning the future of the alliance and our place within it.
