From the codebreakers and problem solvers, to the engineers, mathematicians and other problem-solvers – what the secret world can teach us about performance and creativity

How do you hire smart people who can work together to prevent terrorist attacks and decode encrypted technology?

How do you come up with creative, counterintuitive solutions to solve major global problems?

How do you provide the right environment for these people to thrive and work at their best when under immense pressure?

Written by Robert Hannigan, the former Director of GCHQ, this book explores the role of the counter-intelligence services in history and today’s world – from the codebreakers and problem solvers, to innovation and creativity, secrecy and transparency and the global tech community. It will trace the history of counter-intelligence – from the early days of Bletchley Park, to the ongoing work of GCHQ – while reflecting on some of the unique characteristics of the engineers, mathematicians and other problem-solvers that make up the world’s intelligence community.

An exhaustive and authoritative account of the history of counter-intelligence from Bletchley Park to modern day GCHQ, this brilliant and unique book will appeal to business readers, history readers and fans of smart thinking and big ideas around the world.

Really well told and interesting story around this secret world. A lot of very interesting insights and anecdotes - wider applicability slightly less clear at times but that doesn’t detract from both thought provoking and intriguing stories that are well told.

Highly interesting insight into this world

Amazing, so much history, so much understanding, knowledge.

How things really work, what makes life important, thank you

A deep perspective on the formation and development of the UK's intelligence services that ultimately formed GCHQ. Very important in learning how utterly different it is to almost any commercial or governmental organisation, and if you read carefully, there is a thing or two to learn that would be applicable to your work and life.

Fascinating, unique and thought provoking

Excellent! I would have fitted right in. I’m a triangular peg who has never found my triangular hole, now validated. This makes sense as once you have heard/read the book.

A purposeful rabbit hole.

Not quite a history of GCHQ, but more of a primer on how the lessons and idiosyncrasies that the world of secret communications has meant to, can be applied towards modern organisations. Not a book for business student students I need booked for people genuinely interested in how organisations have adapted to solve almost impossible problems

Cerebral and interesting
