- Abstract
The article titled "Spies and Sparrows: ASIO and the Cold War" discusses the role of ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) during the Cold War and highlights the significant contributions of Evdokia Petrov, who was a code breaker and valuable source of information for ASIO. The book provides a comprehensive account of the lives of individuals who spied or were spied upon in Australia, shedding light on the motivations and impacts of espionage. It also explores the mistrust between the United States, Britain, and Australia due to Russian spying, and the establishment of ASIO to counteract this threat. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context and the impact of intelligence agencies on individuals' lives.
