Two fearless reporters. An unlikely source on the run for their life. A rogue government conspiracy that will do anything to stop them. Tom Novak, cocky star reporter for The Republic, has never played by the rules. He found fame with a story using leaked classified documents, but he hasn't filed a story in six months, the magazine is nearly bankrupt, and now the U.S. government wants to charge him with espionage. In a bid to save the magazine, he is paired with Stella Mitchell, Republic's fearless new Foreign Affairs correspondent from England. And it doesn't take long for sparks to fly, and conflict to ignite. They're sent to report on a shocking act of violence in London that brings the British government to its knees. But telling the truth can be deadly. So when Stella finds a link to the suspicious death of a GCHQ agent, the evidence points to an audacious cover-up with global implications. As ghosts from Mitchell's tabloid past resurface, and Novak confronts a terrible secret about the story that made his name, the pair find themselves caught up in an international conspiracy, and on the run for their lives. If you like globetrotting action, never-see-it-coming plot twists, and razor-sharp dialogue, you'll love Novak and Mitchell.

Richard Breitman's Official Secrets is an important work based on newly declassified archives. As defeat loomed over the Third Reich in 1945, its officials tried to destroy the physical and documentary evidence about the Nazis' monstrous crimes, about their murder of millions. Great Britain already had some of the evidence, however, for its intelligence services had for years been intercepting, decoding, and analyzing German police radio messages and SS ones, too. Yet these important papers were sealed away as "Most Secret," "Never to Be Removed from This Office"-and they have only now reappeared. Integrating this new evidence with other sources, Richard Breitman reconsiders how Germany's leaders brought about the Holocaust-and when-and reassesses Britain's and America's suppression of information about the Nazi killings. His absorbing account of the tensions between the two powers and the consequences of keeping this information secret for so long shows us the danger of continued government secrecy, which serves none of us well, and the failure to punish many known war criminals.

This monograph offers a uniquely comprehensive and in-depth legal account of official secrets in the European Union. It critically analyses their implications for oversight and fundamental rights. Based on forty interviews with practitioners and other stakeholders, it offers an understanding of the practices of official secrets and provides a critical and much-needed perspective on how parliamentary, judicial and administrative oversight institutions deal with access to classified material and the dilemma of oversight to concurrently ensure secrecy necessary for EU security policies and openness needed for democratic processes and fundamental rights. The book discerns shifts in institutional practice of oversight at the European Parliament and the Court of Justice of the European Union that disproportionately favour secrecy and the protection of classified documents while creating serious limitations to open democratic deliberations and access to justice, and delivers new insights on the EU's development as a security actor as well as its autonomy from Member States, showing how rules on official secrets were a means for the EU to gain more autonomy in external security cooperation.

This prize-winning book, first published in 1991, provides a detailed legal account of the development of the UK Official Secrets Acts 1911-1989. In particular, the Espionage section (s.1) of this criminal law is analysed carefully, illustrated by leading cases of UK spies prosecuted under this section, particularly during the 1980’s — including MI5 officer Michael Bettaney and Geoffrey Prime who worked at GCHQ. The author also examines problems of evidence in espionage prosecutions, and the consent of the Attorney-General in cases under the Official Secrets Acts. This book remains the definitive treatise on the UK Official Secrets Acts, especially concerning the espionage provisions.
