A former national security correspondent's groundbreaking account of the turbulent relationship between British Intelligence and the media

Combining his expertise as a national security correspondent and research academic, Paul Lashmar reveals how and why the UK media became more critical in its reporting of the Secret State. He explores a series of major case studies including Snowden, WikiLeaks, Spycatcher, rendition and torture, and MI5's vetting of the BBC - most of which he reported on as they happened.

Lashmar discusses the issues that news coverage raises for democracy and gives you a deeper understanding of how intelligence and the media function, interact and fit into structures of power and knowledge.
