"For five years we bugged and burgled our way across London at the State's behest, while pompous bowler-hatted civil servants in Whitehall pretended to look the other way."
No book this century has attracted more attention than 'Spycatcher'. It made front-page headlines around the world as the British government tried desperately to suppress Peter Wright's explosive revelations.
'Spycatcher' tells with startling frankness and detail the devastating story of a government agency which operated outside the law, where the only rule was the 11th commandment: "Thou shalt not get caught." It is the first real shaft of light to penetrate the murky world of spy and counter-spy. That world will never seem the same again.
