I recently finished this book The Defence of the Realm: The Authorized History of MI5 by Christopher Andrew. It is not a quick read but saying that it is a good read, well written and accessible without been 'dumbed down'.
It is a history book and it does portray the security service in a positive light but then it is an Authorised version. Say that there are some discuss some MI5's failures as well - Cambridge Five and the suggestion of over-rating the Soviet spying capability and success.
