<br/><br/> Traces ASIO, which was established officially in 1949, from its genesis during the First World War to the 1990's. Based on the structure of Britain's MI5, ASIO has experienced the same kind of problems - moles, double agents, and exceeding its ill defined powers. In recent years the Australian government has introduced more control and public accountability. The book also considers what role ASIO could have in the post Cold War era when its primary raison d'etre has been removed.
