Abstract

Closely Guarded is written by a man who was privy to some of the most closely guarded state secrets in Canada. From 1942 to 1973, John Starnes was engaged in such areas as communications intelligence and, during his tenure as the first civilian director-general of the RCMP Security Service, in counter-espionage and counter-subversion. His recollection of these confidential activities and the part he played in them is supported by a wealth of formerly classified official documentation recently released under the Access to Information Act.This is a highly personal narrative, brought vividly to life with excerpts from the letters that Starnes wrote home from London during the Second World War, when he moved in intelligence circles and met many prominent diplomats and policy-makers. His story recalls several of the key political moments of this century, including the creation of the United Nations, the glory days of External Affairs, the Six Day War between Israel and Egypt, and the October Crisis in 1970.Starnes's memoir offers a fascinating look at Canada's security and intelligence work from the point of view of an official deeply involved in many covert government activities. It provides an insider's perspective on both the little-known world of the Canadian intelligence community and the international security and intelligence network in which Canada has participated. Written by the author of five spy novels, it will interest those who follow the history of Canada's undercover operations.

Abstract

"Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog waren meer dan 18.000 Belgen actief als inlichtingen- en actieagent. Vanuit de schaduw en in de illegaliteit zetten zij zich in voor sabotage, spionage en inlichtingenverzameling en hielpen zij militairen en burgers ontsnappen naar onbezet gebied. De inzet van dit 'schaduwleger' zorgde ervoor dat België een 'glazen huis' was voor de regering en de Veiligheid van de Staat in ballingschap in Londen. Daardoor hebben zij een belangrijke bijdrage geleverd aan de geallieerde eindoverwinning. Dit boek vertrekt vanuit de ervaringen van de agenten op het eind van de oorlog. Het bekijkt vervolgens op welke manier de herinnering aan deze agenten en hun acties is geëvolueerd sinds de Bevrijding tot nu. Hun daden en zelfopoffering mogen niet worden vergeten."--Publisher "Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, plus de 18.000 Belges ont oeuvré comme agents de renseignement et d'action. Dans l'ombre et l'illégalité, ces agents ont saboté, espionné et rassemblé des renseignements, et ont aidé des militaires et des citoyens à s'échapper vers les territoires non occupés. Les exploits de cette 'armée de l'ombre' ont fait de la Belgique une 'maison de verre' pour le gouvernement et la Sûreté de l'État en exil à Londres, et ont contribué de façon importante à la victoire des alliés. Ce livre part des expériences des agents à la fin de la guerre et examine ensuite comment la mémoire de ces agents et de leurs actions a évolué depuis la Libération jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Leurs actions et leurs sacrifices ne peuvent être oubliés."--Publisher

Abstract

This book fills an important gap in the history and intelligence canvas of Singapore and Malaya immediately after the surrender of the Japanese in August 1945. It deals with the establishment of the domestic intelligence service known as the Malayan Security Service (MSS), which was pan-Malayan covering both Singapore and Malaya, and the colourful and controversial career of Lieutenant Colonel John Dalley, the Commander of Dalforce in the WWII battle for Singapore and the post-war Director of MSS. It also documents the little-known rivalry between MI5 in London and MSS in Singapore, which led to the demise of the MSS and Dalley's retirement.
