Bloomsbury said it beat off keen competition from major publishing groups to win the rights to publish a book commemorating the first 100 years of the intelligence, security and cyber agency in 2019.

The history will be written by the leading signals intelligence historian Professor John Ferris.
'It is truly exciting to be the first historian to see these documents about GCHQ. They illuminate a hidden but important part of the history of the British state, in particular during the Cold War. This history will bring the actions of the most secret of British agencies into the public domain for the first time,” Professor Ferris said.
