OverviewEstablished in the 1940s, the Five Eyes intelligence network consists of Australia, Britain,Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. The alliance was integral to shapingdomestic and international security decisions during the Cold War, yet much of the intelligencehistory of these countries remains unknown. In The Bridge in the Parks, intelligence scholars from across the Five Eyes come together to present case studies detailing the varied successes and struggles their countries experienced in the world of Cold War counter-intelligence. The case studies draw on newly declassified documents on a variety of topics, including civil liberties, agent handling, wiretapping, and international relations. Collectively, these studies highlight how Cold War intelligence history is more nuanced than it has often been portrayed and much like in the world of intelligence, nothing is ever entirely as it seems.

Jensen * <em>Intelligence and National Security</em> *" The Bridge in the Parks is a must-read for anyone interested in the Five Eyes intelligence community. With top scholars covering a range of engaging issues, the book is an important contribution to the field of security and intelligence, addressing the surprisingly overlooked nature of counter-intelligence in the 'Anglosphere' during the Cold War. Indeed, current practitioners in the partnership might also prosper from this historical examination of their community. - Arne Kislenko, Department of History, Ryerson University This superb collection offers welcome and necessary insight into assorted intelligence and related practices of Five Eyes countries during the Cold War. The precise configuration of security circumstances may change, but many of the challenges reported in these chapters remain eternal. Understanding the past reported in this book provides, therefore, essential context for evaluating the present and anticipating the future. - Craig Forcese, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa Author InformationDennis G.
