MEDIA REVIEWS
'Must read stuff. Aldrich and Cormac are inexhaustible researchers, who use a wide range of archives and include striking material from off-the-record informants. 'The Black Door' is a vital, authoritative book' Richard Davenport-Hines, The Times
'Pioneering book ... a major contribution to our understanding of British prime ministers over the last century. This is one of those rare books that deserve to change the way that modern British political history is researched and written' Christopher Andrew, Literary Review
'A timely read' **** Daily Express
'This book deserves to be taken very seriously. The authors are intimately familiar with the history of the modern intelligence community' Sunday Times
'The first close study of relations between nineteen prime ministers and their secret service. Plenty of lively stories and characters' The Times
