Publisher Synopsis
Jeffreys-Jones has written a lucid, revealing study of the Anglo-American relationship, using intelligence as his lens into larger political transitions. In the place of myth he has put fine-grained historical analysis. * Michael Kimmage, American Hisorical Review * Librarians seeking to upgrade their holdings on national security issues will find this book to be a worthy addition to their collections ... Highly recommended. * C.C. Lovett, CHOICE * An informal but well-informed, examination of the up and down relationship between US and UK intelligence ... this is an enjoyable and information-loaded history that entertains the reader as it informs. * Frederick P. Hitz, former CIA Inspector General * [E]xtraordinarily detailed ... one of the resounding lessons of Jeffreys-Jones's book is that both the UK and the US have to think long and hard about how their intelligence endeavours will evolve in the future. * The Sunday Herald * In Spies We Trust is threaded with detail and anecdote... It's a great achievement, and one comes away with fresh perspectives. * Scotland on Sunday * What this book [does well] is examine the complex history of American British intelligence cooperation, which has underpinned the supposed "special relationship" between the two English-speaking powers for the past century or more. * The Sunday Telegraph * [An] authoritative book. * Military History Monthly * a thoughtful and thought-provoking book, and provides a valuable study of a story that still has a very long way to run. * Gill Bennett, Diplomacy & Statecraft * Read more...
