This authoritative three-volume set presents the classified history of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation from its founding in 1949 through the early 21st century. Written by leading military historians, it chronicles ASIO’s evolution from Cold War counterespionage to counterterrorism and cyber intelligence, detailing its operations, internal culture, and political oversight. Volume I covers the formative years and the threat of Soviet infiltration; Volume II examines ASIO’s role during the Vietnam War, domestic unrest, and the rise of international terrorism; Volume III illustrates the agency’s transformation in response to global jihadism and technological disruption. The authors argue that ASIO’s trajectory reflects Australia’s shifting security priorities and democratic tensions. Drawing on declassified files and interviews, the set presents a rare and comprehensive insight into one of the nation’s most secretive institutions.
