New Spies (Pimlico, £10 pbk, ISBN O 7126 7410 1) is now out in paperback. James Adams brings us up-to-date with the activities of the intelligence services worldwide with a new introduction that races from the Ames scandal (nine years’ supply of US intelligence to the then Soviet Union) and chemical warfare terrorists in Japan to South Africa’s biological weapons programme. Not to be read at bedtime – without concentration you’ll confuse your DlO, CIO, INR, NIO, NIE, SVR and BDO.
