Through personal interviews with world leaders - including British Prime Ministers Theresa May and David Cameron - and more than 100 intelligence officials, this book explores the complex personalities who helped shape the Five Eyes. They include a Scotland Yard detective who became a spymaster and inspired the first exchanges between MI5 and the FBI. An American home economics teacher who helped create one of the most effective programmes to counter Soviet espionage. The CIA's lone officer in Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution. GCHQ's chief during the Edward Snowden intelligence leak. And the Australian politician turned diplomat whose tip-off to the FBI instigated the inquiry into Russia's meddling in the US presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016.

I gave 5 stars to Richard Kerbaj’s book because for his first book on such a complex subject he kept my attention. I also like his journalistic pedigree as an investigative journalist and foreign correspondent. Good investigative journalism is too thin on the ground, and more unbiased reporting is needed in my opinion. Stewart Bell (25 November 2013).

Wise served as Deputy Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from August 2014 until August 2016. Following 20 years of active duty in the Army where he served as an infantry and special operations officer, he spent the remainder of his career at CIA. Kerbaj brings us along on his labyrinth journey and offers us a seat as we learn (often for the first time) about Five Eyes’ successes and, yes, its failures. Even for this reviewer, himself a career senior intelligence officer serving often not far from the Five Eyes process, had his two eyes opened by Kerbaj’s revelations such as the frequent pettiness, internal intrigue, national and service selfishness and the fractious early history of this remarkable institution. All of this existed at various times during the history of The Five Eyes yet this was counterbalanced by courageous national collaboration to a remarkable degree.
