As one might expect with Clive, this is no dry academic study but a lively account of a previously unrecorded aspect of British police history. * Police History Society Newsletter * A rare example of detailed scholarship, lively text, and the uncovering of a very under-researched aspect of British policing. This is the culmination of a long period of archival digging, and has the usual Emsley hallmark of quality: diligent research, expansive and innovative theories, and some wonderfully interesting contemporary quotes from the archives to illustrate his points. A great read. * Barry Godfrey, Associate Pro Vice Chancellor, University of Liverpool, UK * In Exporting British Policing, Clive Emsley, our foremost historian of the British Bobby, gives us a fascinating and meticulously researched account of the work of Civil Affairs and Special Investigation Branch officers during the Second World War. Deftly told, his book sheds light on a vital element of the Allied military element and on some of the less salubrious chapters of Britain's war. * Alan Allport, Associate Professor of History, Syracuse University, USA *
