"Spycatcher" had a significant impact on several levels. To begin with,
Wright's book was a major challenge to Britain's secrecy laws, as British
officials banned the book and then tried unsuccessfully to win an injunction
against publication in a widely-reported trial in Australia. This of course
guaranteed that the book would be a bestseller, whereupon some of Wright's
allegations received more attention than they probably deserved: that Roger
Hollis, the head of MI5 in the 1960s, was a Soviet mole, that MI5 sometimes
bugged diplomatic conferences, that they plotted against British prime
minister Harold Wilson in 1974-1976 (Wright claims that this was instigated
by the CIA's Angleton), and that MI6 plotted to assassinate Nasser during
the 1956 Suez crisis. Of these, the plot against Wilson was the most
newsworthy, but Wright's treatment is considered self-serving. A better
source on this is "The Wilson Plot" by David Leigh.
