The British Security Service, MI5, has for the first time opened its archives to an independent historian. The book reveals the precise role which MI5 wishes to project in 20th-century British history, from its foundation by Captain Kell of the British Army in October 1909, through two world wars, up to and including its present roles in counterespionage, false flags & counterterrorism. The book also describes how MI5 has been managed, what its relationship has been with government and how it was infiltrated by Soviet agents. Defend the Realm also reveals the identities of previously unknown enemies of the United Kingdom whose activities have been uncovered by the Service, adds significantly to our knowledge of many celebrated events and notorious individuals, and definitively lays to rest a number of persistent myths. Above all, it shows the place of this previously extremely secretive organization within the United Kingdom, although it fails to fully develop a critical analysis of the role of MI5 in subverting Trade Unions and the UK Labour Party.
