Description
Six tells the complete story of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service from its birth to its early years. This gripping narrative reveals previously untold tales, including the tragic fate of agents in Soviet Russia between the wars.
Using hundreds of previously unreleased files and interviews with key players, this book shows how one of the world's most secretive secret agencies originated and developed into MI6. It explores the personal risks taken by officers and their agents, often far from home and unprotected.
This first part of Six takes us up to the eve of conflict, shedding new light on a pivotal moment in British history.
