Renowned scientist K. Walton presents the secret history of the end of the British Empire and the involvement of British intelligence in this process. The author gives a panoramic overview of the secret actions of the government: from wartime espionage in the deserts of North Africa to dubious behind-the-scenes contacts with African dictators, from punitive actions against the insurgency in the jungles of Malaya, Kenya and the mountains of Cyprus to military operations in Palestine and the Arabian Peninsula. Walton uncovers CIA plots and covert activities in the British colonies, assassinations at the hands of KGB agents and failed coups sponsored by the British and US governments in the Middle East, the main purpose of which was to seize oil and other natural resources. The book is based on recently declassified intelligence documents and private collections from a number of archives.
