MI6 : fifty years of special operations

Más información sobre el libro

"MI6 is one of Britain's most elusive organisations. Britain's Secret Intelligence Service clamps down on any dissident reports of its activities and despite the architectural prominence of its London headquarters at Vauxhall Cross, its operations and structures remain veiled from scrutiny. Even its true budget is a secret." "It is impossible, under the laws presently shielding MI6 and its sister service, MI5, to write about its daily activities: there is no right to know what is undertaken abroad today in the name of Britain's security. But MI6 has a history, and that reveals a great deal. Stephen Dorril is a meticulous observer and chronicler of the security services, and in this portrait he offers the fullest possible vision of MI6's motives, character and, crucially, what it has done and where it has been most influential."--BOOK JACKET
