[…] all this? While not an out-and-out Churchillian, nevertheless what we have in this volume is the discovery that Churchill was one of the architects of the British Secret State. He played, we are informed, ‘a far more important and active part in the creation of Britain’s modern intelligence community than is generally recognized’; and, […]
