About the book: 2013 / The history of the British intelligence services is an inexhaustible topic, and the relationship of the latter with the fate and activities of British politicians with the reputation of world leaders (to which, undoubtedly applies to W. Churchill) - is also informative and instructive. For the reader of this book, the reasoning of English researchers A. Venning, K. Andrew, J. Morton, D. Stafford (whose generalizations are presented for the first time in Russian) may appear “seditious” language) that for Churchill (who spent almost the entire first half of the twentieth century at the helm of power) his own ideas about the role and significance of the intelligence services in the state were decisive, radically different from those that existed, for example, in Russia (both pre-Soviet, so Soviet and even post-Soviet) or in the USA. And perhaps that is why no one has ever seriously challenged either the effectiveness of British intelligence, or the professionalism of its employees, or the lack of political engagement. And all this is proven by the documents presented in the book - their analysis and generalization. At the same time, the history of the British intelligence services during the reign of the country by Churchill is rich in events and names, thanks to which Britain “ruled the seas” for centuries. The author of the book convincingly proves that the basic principles of the activities of the British intelligence services - cherished by Churchill - remain unshakable today, which indicates that traditions and common sense are what “rules the world.” And this book is about all of this. For a wide range of readers.
