Book Summary – 
Spycatcher is a gripping and controversial memoir by Peter Wright, a former assistant director of Britain’s MI5, offering an insider’s view into the secretive world of espionage during the Cold War. In this explosive account, Wright details his career in counterintelligence, focusing on his work in uncovering Soviet espionage within the British establishment. The book exposes shocking allegations, including claims that a senior figure in MI5 was a Soviet mole and that the intelligence community engaged in illegal surveillance and political manipulation. Wright also discusses MI5’s operations against figures such as former Prime Minister Harold Wilson, whom some suspected of having ties to the KGB. Banned by the British government upon its initial publication in 1987, Spycatcher became an international bestseller for its daring revelations and candid criticism of intelligence ethics and bureaucracy. It remains one of the most famous whistleblowing accounts in intelligence history, challenging the boundaries between secrecy, loyalty, and truth.

About the Author –
Peter Wright (1916–1995) was a British intelligence officer who served with MI5, the UK’s domestic counterintelligence and security agency, from 1955 to 1976. A scientist by training, he played a crucial role in developing surveillance technology and uncovering Soviet espionage activities during the Cold War. Disillusioned with MI5’s leadership and secrecy after his retirement, Wright wrote Spycatcher to expose what he saw as corruption and incompetence within the agency. His memoir sparked global controversy, leading to court battles and international debates on government transparency and national security. Paul Greengrass, who assisted in shaping the book, is a British filmmaker, journalist, and writer best known for directing the Bourne film series and Captain Phillips. Together, their collaboration gave Spycatcher a compelling, investigative tone that bridged factual memoir with the dramatic tension of a spy thriller.
