| book description |

FULLY UPDATED CENTENARY EDITION â€˜An important bookâ€™ Max Hastings, Sunday Times â€˜An intriguing history of covert surveillance â€¦ thoroughly engagingâ€™ Daily Telegraph GCHQ is the largest and most secretive intelligence organisation in the UK, and has existed for 100 years â€“ but we still know next to nothing about it. In this ground-breaking book â€“ the first and most definitive history of the organisation ever published â€“ intelligence expert Richard Aldrich traces GCHQâ€™s development from a wartime code-breaking operation based in the Bedfordshire countryside into one of the world leading espionage organisations. Packed with dramatic spy stories, GCHQ also explores the organisationâ€™s role behind the most alarming headlines of our time, from fighting ISIS to cyberterrorism, from the surveillance state to Russian hacking. Revelatory, brilliantly written and fully updated, this is the crucial missing link in Britainâ€™s intelligence history.
