What is New Cloak, Old Dagger : How Britain's Spies Came in from the Cold about?

New Cloak, Old Dagger provides the most comprehensive picture yet published of the intelligence machine in Britain. Taking advantage of the recent relaxation in official secrecy and making use of extensive interviews with serving and former intelligence officers, Michael Smith (who was himself in the Army's Intelligence Corps before becoming a journalist) examines the role of espionage during the Cold War and since. He describes the so-called new roles of economic intelligence, counter-proliferation and fighting organized crime, looking not just at MI5 and MI6 but also the Defence Intelligence Staff, GCHQ and the police. Packed with new details of intelligence activities and fresh insights into the role of British spies during the Cold War - including the secret activity of the SAS at the 'sharp end' of MI6 operations - New Cloak, Old Dagger gets right to the heart of British espionage.
