An intelligence agency exposé so explosive that the British government tried to stop its publication or the first time ever, MI6, Britain’s legendary player at the chessboard of international intelligence-gathering, is revealed in fascinating detail. Fifteen years of painstaking and meticulous research on the notoriously elusive organization comes together in a vivid and shocking portrait that differs radically from the sleek and flawless fictionalized portraits of Her Majesty’s Secret Service. This no-holds-barred exposé of the agency’s operations and methods describes in riveting detail its impact on the history and politics of the last half century. Stephen Dorril’s daring and prodigious research has unearthed startling information, including: • The recruitment of assets and agents of influence around the world • MI6’s relationships with national leaders, including Nelson Mandela • A secret deal between London and Washington to keep British troops out of Vietnam • Details about failed plots to assassinate Nasser, Milosevic, and Gaddifi • Why MI6 was unable to provide advance warning of the Iranian Revolution or Argentina’s plan to invade the Falklands • MI6’s operations to bring Nazi collaborators and war criminals to Britain after the war MI6 lifts the veil surrounding the closely guarded espionage efforts that have shaped and continue to affect our world for better…and for worse.(Please note: Over standard weight.
