About this product
Product Information
"Engrossing. . . . As a rollicking chronicle of demented derring-do, Smith's book is hard to beat. His research is prodigious and his eye for a good story impeccable, and his book, while perfectly scholarly, often reads like a real-life James Bond thriller."--Dominic Sandbrook, The Sunday Times Six tells the complete story of the Secret Intelligence Service's birth in 1909 and its first thirty years, including the tragic tale of what happened to Britain's extensive interwar networks in Soviet Russia. It tells the story of Britain's hidden networks in the United States, thwarting German shipping saboteurs and tracking down Indian seditionaries. It also shows the development of "tradecraft" and the great personal risk officers and their agents took, far fromhome and unprotected, as well as the violence meted out in the King's name--including running a Swiss murder gang that used attractive girls to lure and murder Bolshevik messengers. This first part of Six takes us up to the eve of World War II, using hundreds of previously unreleased files and interviews with key players to show how one of the world's most secretive of secret agencies originated and developed into something like the MI6 we know today. Michael Smith , former military intelligence officer and award-winning journalist, is one of the world's leading experts on Britain's spies. The defense correspondent of The Sunday Times , he is author of the bestseller Killer Elite: The Inside Story of America's Most Secret Special Operations Team and Foley: The Spy Who Saved 10,000 Jews .

"In Six , Michael Smith takes a broad view, adding new stories, filling in details, using true names and dates, and perhaps most interesting, describing the reactions of government entities to the intelligence they received."-- Hayden B.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
