Product Information

The first systematic account of Australian intelligence operations in the early 20th century offers fascinating new insights into Australian politics and international relations. Australia was born with its eyes wide open. Although politicians spoke publicly of loyalty to Britain and the empire, in secret they immediately set about protecting Australia's interests from the Germans, the Japanese - and from Britain itself. As an experienced intelligence officer, John Fahey knows how the security services disguise their activities within government files. He has combed the archives to compile the first account of Australia's intelligence operations in the years from Federation to the end of World War II. He tells the stories of dedicated patriots who undertook dangerous operations to protect their new nation, despite a lack of training and support. He shows how the early adoption of advanced radio technology by Australia contributed to the war effort in Europe. He also exposes the bureaucratic mismanagement in World War II that cost many lives, and the leaks that compromised Australia's standing with its wartime allies so badly that Australia was nearly expelled from the Anglo-Saxon intelligence network. Australia's First Spies shows Australia always has been a far savvier operator in international affairs than much of the historical record suggests, and it offers a glimpse into the secret history of the nation. 'Fills a major gap in the history of Australian intelligence organisations.' - Professor David Horner, author of The Spy Catchers: The Official History of ASIO 1949-1963 'Great intelligence is often shared by great story telling, and John Fahey shares a great story in Australia's First Spies .' - Rear Admiral Paul Becker, USN (Retired), Former Director for Intelligence of the U.S. Pacific Command and Joint Chiefs of Staff

"Fills a major gap in the history of Australian intelligence organisations." --Professor David Horner, author of The Spy Catchers: The Official History of ASIO 1949-1963, "Great intelligence is often shared by great story telling, and John Fahey shares a great story in Australia's First Spies ." --Rear Admiral Paul Becker, USN (Retired), Former Director for Intelligence of the U.S. Pacific Command and Joint Chiefs of Staff, 'Based on extensive research in Australian, British and American archives...vigorous and lucid writing' - Peter Edwards, The Australian 'A meticulously researched investigation full of well-grounded assessments, but it is also a well-crafted narrative, all the more appealing because its stories and characters are real.' - Peter Monteath, Journal of Pacific History 'Lays bare both brilliance and the incompetence in the first 45 years of Australian intelligence' -Tim Coyle, The Australian Naval Institute
