Epitomised in the public imagination by James Bond, MI6's svelte and glamorous image has been peeled away by Dorril's searching investigations to reveal a less savoury truth. Here is the story of MI6's recruitment operation after World War II of former Nazis; anticommunist guerrilla campaigns in the Ukraine and the Baltic States; Operation Stalin which led to mass arrests and executions ordered by Stalin; the European terrorist network Gladio; tunnels built in Vienna an Berlin known as operation Gold and Silver; and many other little-known operations. Post Cold War, this book discusses what role, if any, MI6 will have in the future.
