A very good companion book to read before/after Peter Wright's "Spycatcher" book. Covers the history of "Molehunt" searches for traitors within the ranks of the Security Service, mainly in the post-war era. The topic is addressed with the characteristic West thoroughness, so much so in fact, that it's sometimes necessary to reread a paragraph or two in order to get one's facts/understanding straight. This is also sometimes necessary due to (for me at least) West's occasionally "odd" sentence structure. Nevertheless an interesting and engaging read for espionage aficionados and students of history.
