The Secret History of the Five Eyes

"Mr. Kerbaj gives readers a valuable look at the origins and trajectory of the oldest and most successful intelligence network in the world." 
—Wall Street Journal

“[An] absolutely brilliant book and very, very timely to read.”
—Tom Holland, The Rest Is History podcast

"Puts Richard Kerbaj in the front rank of modern authors on espionage. It is, by turns, gripping and shocking and sheds completely new light on the most important intelligence alliance in the world."
—Tim Shipman, bestselling author of All Out War

"An impressively detailed account of a remarkable alliance"
—Jeremy Bowen, The New Statesman

"A scandalous tale of mistrust and and misjudgment."
—The Observer

"Unencumbered by any sense of an agreed or official narrative."
—The Sunday Times

"This thought-provoking and informative book suggests that the era of globetrotting lone agents such as James Bond is long gone."
—Sydney Morning Herald

"The stories Kerbaj tells reveal ... a story of failure - of missing warnings that could have prevented atrocities, of misusing intelligence to start a war."
—Observer

"Scintillating ... full of scoops ... by focusing on the human relationships which are the beating heart of the Five Eyes, Kerbaj has made a singular contribution to the intelligence discourse. It's a service to democracy."
—The Australian

"Kerbaj ... has chronicled the history of the Fives Eyes spy network. His list of interviewees speaks for itself - several former heads of MI5, MI6, GCHQ, the CIA, four former British and Australian prime ministers, and myriad other current and former spooks. But this account is unencumbered by any sense of an agreed or official narrative (the usual price for this level of journalistic access)."
—Gabriel Pogrund, Whitehall Editor, The Sunday Times

"Sensational."
—Nigel Nelson, Political Editor, The Mirror

"Examines decades of intelligence sharing."
—The Telegraph

"An extraordinary development."
—The Times

"Explosive."
—The World News—N/A, N/A
