- This 606-page, 200,000+ word, book covers a century of international political history, from the First World War to the Arab Spring. It has 19 chapters, each with around 100 references comprising extensive original research at multiple archives across the United Kingdom and United States. Given the sensitive subject and fragmented archival record, the research and analysis required years of sifting through thousands of records to construct the argument and analysis. Tracing the thread of secret intelligence through international political history, spanning domestic subversion to imperial counter-insurgencies, required an exceptional amount of wider reading to understand the primary source material.
