Riassunto

Former MI6 officer Cavendish reveals the inner workings of the intelligence world and defends the smeared reputation of the former chief of MI6, the late Sir Maurice Oldfield

The government originally tried to ban this book – a defence against the smeared reputation of Cavendish’s great friend the late Sir Maurice Oldfield which also revealed a lot about the activities within the secret service

Cavendish also tells of his own career as an intelligence officer and high-risk journalist – including fascinating details of undercover work in Europe, Eastern Europe and the Middle East

His perspective on Kim Philby and other high-profile MI6 chiefs (George Young, Stewart Menzies, Sir John Rennie etc).

His view of the changes wrought in the intelligence service during the 60s and 70s

Breathtaking tales of high-risk assignments as a journalist in Paris, Warsaw, Budapest (during the Hungarian uprising of October 1956), Yugoslavia, Beirut and Baghdad

Rupert Allason (aka Nigel West) has written a new foreword

Recensione

‘By the time the reader has shared the author’s ring-side seat at the spectacle of world events... it seems as though James Bond was a rather dull weakling by comparison’
Jonathan Aitken, MP
