Controversy
In February 2003, Andrew accepted the post of official historian for the Security Service, being chartered to write an official history of the service due for their centennial in 2009. This appointment--which entailed Andrew's enrollment into the Security Service--drew criticism from some historians and commentators. In general, these criticisms drew heavily on the suggestion that he was too close to MI5 to be impartial, and that indeed his link with the Service (formalised with his privileged access to the defectors Gordievsky and Mitrokhin) made him a "court historian" instead of a clear-eyed and critical historian.[5] Persistent—if unfounded—rumours that Andrew was "MI5's main recruiter in Cambridge" have done little to quiet critics.[6] Professor Andrew's response to these criticisms has been that he cannot afford to be biased towards the service. As The Guardian quoted Andrew, "Posterity and postgraduates are breathing down my neck. I tell my PhD students: I know you can only get on in the profession by assaulting teachers. You are not going to make a reputation by saying 'Look, Professor Andrew was right all along the line'."[7] MI5's files will eventually be opened to others to inspect, and Andrew suggests that should he white-wash the history now, he will be found out and his entire corpus of work undermined.
Regardless of criticism, Christopher Andrew remains a critical figure in the introduction of intelligence as a legitimate field of academic study. Through his efforts, and those of his peers and students, intelligence has become a field not simply reserved for secret government formulation or—conversely—fiction and conspiracy theory, but rather a function of governance deserving of theorization, study, and critique.
Тю, а я и не догадался, что книжку-то мистер профессор к 100-летию "конторы" ваяет.
