The Real Special Relationship The True Story of How the British and US Secret Services Work Together [Audiobook]

Once the war was over, and the Cold War began, both sides recognised that the way they had worked together to decode German and Japanese ciphers could now be used to counter the Soviet threat. Despite occasional political conflict and public disputes between the two nations, such as during the Suez crisis, behind the scenes intelligence sharing continued uninterrupted. Smith, the bestselling author and having himself served in British military intelligence, brings together a fascinating range of characters, from Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming to Edward Snowden, who have helped shape the security of our two nations. Supported by in-depth interviews and an excellent range of personal contacts, he takes the listener into the mysterious workings of MI6, the CIA and all those who work to keep us safe.
