Behind the Lines: Factual Lies

MI6 has always of necessity been secretive, diversional, loyal yet engaged in a guerilla war against many factions for the good of their country.
It is simply because of the secrecy that so many stories and guesses as to the actual functioning of the Service have been, and still are propounded.
The astounding truth of the matter is far and away more interesting, confounding, and sometimes unbelievable than what is spread by the pundits!
An exceptional read, it gives a very different story to anything offered as “Truth”.
Bravo to the author, Keith Jeffery, for braving life and limb to expose (within reason, or treason) this essential Service.
