Peter Wright's Spycatcher argued that a full investigation into the role played by the security services in various recent Labour governments was needed. In this fascinating biography of Wilson, Stephen Dorril and Robin Ramsay have done just that providing a secret history of the years 1964 to 1979 and how disinformation, surveillance and media manipulation determined how Britain was run.
