The Bridge in the Parks: The Five Eyes and Cold War Counter-Intelligence

"Based on newly released archival material, the book portrays an intelligence world more nuanced than sometimes seen in the literature."

Kurt F. Jensen, Intelligence and National Security

"The Bridge in the Parks is a must-read for anyone interested in the Five Eyes intelligence community. With top scholars covering a range of engaging issues, the book is an important contribution to the field of security and intelligence, addressing the surprisingly overlooked nature of counter-intelligence in the ‘Anglosphere’ during the Cold War. Indeed, current practitioners in the partnership might also prosper from this historical examination of their community."

Arne Kislenko, Department of History, Ryerson University

"This superb collection offers welcome and necessary insight into assorted intelligence and related practices of Five Eyes countries during the Cold War. The precise configuration of security circumstances may change, but many of the challenges reported in these chapters remain eternal. Understanding the past reported in this book provides, therefore, essential context for evaluating the present and anticipating the future."
