Synopsis
How do we balance our belief in human freedom with the need to defend ourselves against those who believe the use of terror can be justified? Can our handling of security risk and the laws we pass to deal with them distort our response to the threat of terrorism?
In this sobering and remarkably frank analysis based on her 2011 Reith Lectures, Eliza Manningham-Buller, ex-Director General of MI5, the British Security Service, talks about key events during her tenure - from the threat of the IRA to al-Qaeda. She states that torture works but must never be used, how intelligence is gathered and why surveillance is necessary to protect democracy, the importance of the rule of law and why without security there can be no liberty.

About the Author
Eliza Manningham-Buller joined MI5 in 1974. During her career she worked to counter the full range of security threats facing the UK, her main focus being counterterrorism. She led the section responsible for investigating international terrorism at the time of the Lockerbie bombing. Later she was posted to Washington as the senior liaison officer from MI5 to the US intelligence community, a period that coincided with the first Gulf War in 1991. On her return to London the following year she established and led a new section responsible for countering Irish terrorism on the British mainland.
Manningham-Buller was promoted to the MI5 management board in 1993. She was appointed Deputy Director-General in 1997. She became Director-General in 2002 and led MI5 through major changes in the wake of 9/11 while dealing with a greatly increased terrorist threat. Under her leadership the service nearly doubled in size and opened a network of new offices around the UK.
She retired in 2007, after thirty-three years at MI5. She now sits on the crossbenches in the House of Lords where she is a member of the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy and the Privileges and Conduct Committee. She chairs the Sub-Committee on Lord's Conduct. She is also Chair of the Council of Imperial College and a Governor of the Wellcome Trust.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
