520 8  This is the story of surveillance in Britain and the 
       United States, from the detective agencies of the late 
       nineteenth century to Wikileaks and CIA whistle-blower 
       Edward Snowden in the twenty-first. Written by historian 
       and intelligence expert Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, it is the 
       first full overview of its kind. Delving into the roles of
       credit agencies, private detectives, and phone-hacking 
       journalists as well as agencies like the FBI and NSA in 
       the USA and GCHQ and MI5 in the UK, Jeffreys-Jones 
       highlights malpractices such as the blacklist and illegal 
       electronic interceptions. He demonstrates that several 
       presidents - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, 
       Richard M. Nixon - conducted various forms of political 
       surveillance, and also how British agencies have been 
       under a constant cloud of suspicion for similar reasons. 
       Continuing with an account of the 1970s' leaks that 
       revealed how the FBI and CIA kept tabs on anti-Vietnam War
       protestors, he assesses the reform impulse of this era - 
       an impulse that began in America and only gradually spread
       to Britain. The end of the Cold War further at the end of 
       the 1980s then undermined confidence in the need for state
       surveillance still further, but it was to return with a 
       vengeance after 9/11. What emerges is a story in which 
       governments habitually abuse their surveillance powers 
       once granted, demonstrating the need for proper controls 
       in this area. But, as Jeffreys-Jones makes clear, this is 
       not simply a story of the Orwellian state. While private 
       sector firms have sometimes acted as a brake on 
       surveillance by the state (particularly in the electronic 
       era), they have also often engaged in dubious surveillance
       practices of their own. Oversight and regulation, he 
       argues, therefore need to be universal and not simply 
       concentrate on the threat to the individual posed by the 
       agencies of government.
