Join us for a thrilling evening with authors and archivists Mark Dunton and Stephen Twigge as we celebrate the the release of their latest book, The MI5 Archive: Official Secrets.

From interrogations to surveillance logs, coded messages to intercepted phone calls, The MI5 Archive charts the clandestine activities of MI5 right from its inception.

Detailing uprisings and executions, double agents and femmes fatales from across the globe, The MI5 Archive presents a window into the world of spycraft that has kept British democracy safe. Rummage through documents received anonymously to the shadowy PO Box 500, London, W2. Work out what has value and how to decode it, with experts at your shoulder: authors and archivists Mark Dunton and Stephen Twigge have had unparalleled access.

Within you will find source material on the Siege of Sidney Street, the Cambridge Spy Ring and the Profumo Affair, and never-before-published imagery prepared exclusively for this book and the National Archives’ hit exhibition ‘MI5: Official Secrets’.

Please Note: The Book & Ticket option includes a copy of The MI5 Archive: Official Secrets (RRP £45) to be collected on the night.
