British intelligence during the cold war. Secret operations of MI5 and MI6.

The famous scientist K. Walton is the secret history of the end of the British Empire and participation in the process of British intelligence. The author gives a panoramic view of the secret actions of the government: from espionage during the war in the deserts of North Africa to the questionable behind-the-scenes contacts with African dictators, from the punitive actions against the insurgency in the jungles of Malaya, Kenya and the mountains of Cyprus to the hostilities in Palestine and the Arabian Peninsula. Walton reveals the conspiracies of the CIA and covert activities in the British colonies, murder at the hands of KGB agents and failed coups sponsored by the governments of great Britain and the United States in the middle East, main goal of which was to seize oil and other natural resources. The book is based on a recently declassified intelligence documents, and private collections from a number of archives.
