For the first time, ASIO has opened its archives to an independent historian. With unfettered access to the records, David Horner tells the real story of Australia's domestic intelligence organization, from shaky beginnings to the expulsion of Ivan Skripov in 1963. From the start, ASIO's mission was to catch spies. In the late 1940s, the top secret Venona program revealed details of a Soviet spy ring in Australia, supported by leading Australian communists. David Horner outlines the tactics ASIO used in counterespionage, from embassy bugging to surveillance of local suspects. His research sheds new light on the Petrov Affair, and details incidents and activities that have never been revealed before. This authoritative and ground-breaking account overturns many myths about ASIO, and offers new insights into broader Australian politics and society in the fraught years of the Cold War. The Spy Catchers is the first of three volumes of The Official History of ASIO.
Editorial : "The Spy Catchers is a fascinating account of ASIO's early years when the main threat Australia faced was from the Soviet regime." —The Hon. John Howard, OM, AC, former Prime Minister of Australia
Going through this wonderful DR book brings back so many memories for me. fast shipping & item as described. I loved that this book humanizes the hero a bit, but not too much. The book paid for itself in showing us how to make a repair. Glad I got hold on this book.. There are a few x-rayed mummies, oddly interesting. I was happy to see the character depth that I was hoping for in this addition. Anyone seriously contemplating building a powerful GUI, manipulating the Frame/Desktop/UI control objects, or integrating 3rd party Java tools into their matlab application should not be without a copy of this book. All of them are about equal, in their own unique writing styles. Epstein mentions attending an intelligence conference at the Air Force Academy in BOULDER, CO in June 1984: NEWSFLASH--the US Air Force Academy is NOT in Boulder, CO; it is about 15 miles north of downtown Colorado Springs on I-25.
