Description
This book names names!
MI5, is arguably the most secret of the world's counterintelligence organizations. The enigmatic title connotes cloak and dagger work in dark places. From time to time a corner of the veil has been lifted, but what has emerged on these occasions has usually been inaccurate or wrong.
This book sets the record straight. The result of years of research and interviews with British, American, Nazi, and Soviet agents, counterintelligence officers, and even a number of double agents, the book reveals episodes as bizarre as anything in the best thriller fiction.
Here are accounts of the role MI5 played in World War II, recalling, among much else, the sixteen enemy agents who, in the course of the war were rounded up and either hanged or shot, the famous Double Cross System, and the various deceptions practiced on the German High Command.
