Who's Watching You?
In Enemy of the State, historian Oliver Price pulls back the curtain on one of Britain's most secretive and unsettling chapters — the systematic surveillance of its own citizens throughout the twentieth century.
From trade unionists and suffragettes to peace activists and politicians, no one was beyond the reach of the state's watchful eye. Price draws on declassified files, personal testimonies, and archival research to reveal how intelligence agencies monitored, infiltrated, and disrupted political movements — all in the name of national security.
This book is for you if you:
- Are fascinated by Cold War espionage and British political history
- Want to understand how surveillance shapes democracy
- Love narrative non-fiction that reads like a thriller
- Are curious about the hidden machinery of the modern state
Gripping, meticulously researched, and deeply relevant to today's debates on privacy and civil liberties — Enemy of the State is a must-read for anyone who believes in the right to dissent.
