ASIO history looks at Australia through the eyes of the spy agency

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › General Article

Abstract

Buried in the dimly fluorescent vaults of one of Australia's top secret spy agencies, ASIO, is an incredible story about the nation's place in the Cold War and a rapidly-evolving society. It's a tale driven by car chases with Soviets in the quiet streets of Canberra, communist infiltration of the Australia Labor Party, and secret operations with benign names like "Sparrow" which saw ASIO agents nest in every branch of the Communist Party of Australia
