Opis

This history of Australia's highly secret Security Intelligence Organization starts with its establishment in the early days of the Cold War. Like most intelligence organizations working in covert conditions, it exceeded the vague powers entrusted to it. It has been the subject of two Royal Commissions in Australia and several act of Parliament have aimed to make it more accountable to the Australian Government and its citizens.
