- This monograph studies the relationship between Labour Ministers and the British intelligence community at the onset of the Cold War. Widening the focus beyond government papers, it also makes extensive use of private papers and recently released UK records, including files on the activities of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. It made extensive use of Freedom of Information legislation in order to declassify hitherto unused government papers. It argues that the Attlee government and Labour enjoyed a close working relationship with the UK’s intelligence agencies, explaining a previous ‘missing dimension’ in studies of diplomacy, security and government in Britain.
