The hidden hand: Britain, America and Cold War secret intelligence - London: John Murray, 2001 - 733p.

Describes the covert and overt uses of intelligence by which the major powers (USA, USSR, China, UK) sought to influence events in thier favour during the Cold War. Allies were suspicious of each other as well as thier enemies: the USA thought the British were foiling their operations in Eastern Europe, while some British advisers in the 1950s were convinced that America intended a war with USSR in which the UK would be obliterated.
