Krátky popis
In 1889, the first Official Secrets Act was passed, creating
offences of 'disclosure of information' and 'breach of official
trust'. It limited and monitored what the public could, and should,
be told. Since then a culture of secrecy has flourished. As
successive governments have been selective about what they choose
to share with the public, we have been left with a distorted and
incomplete understanding not only of the workings of the state but
of our nation's culture and its past. In this important new book,
Ian Cobain offers a fresh appraisal of some of the key moments in
British history since the end of WWII, including: the measures
taken to conceal the existence of Bletchley Park and its successor,
GCHQ, for three decades, the unreported wars fought during the
1960s and 1970s, the hidden links with terrorist cells during the
Troubles, the sometimes opaque workings of the criminal justice
system, the state's peacetime surveillance techniques, and the
convenient loopholes in the Freedom of Information Act. Drawing on
previously unseen material and rigorous research, The History
Thieves reveals how a complex bureaucratic machine has grown up
around the British state, allowing governments to evade
accountability and their secrets to be buried.
