A groundbreaking book, this is the first – and only – history of the MI6 Secret Intelligence Service. Covering the years from 1909 to 1949, it was written with unrestricted access to closed archives
This book is a Sunday Times bestseller. The Mail On Sunday said, “At times it reads like a script for a Bond film … It’s a comprehensive look at MI6’s successes, failures and liveliest characters.”
MI6 is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of espionage, the two world wars, modern British government and the conduct of international relations in the first half of the 20th century.
It was written by Keith Jeffery, a British history professor who has authored 14 previous books.
