For the first 85 years of SIS its existence and the identity of its Chief were subject to the strictest secrecy. Its only official recognition was the wartime designation MI6, by which the service continues to be commonly known today. This remarkable book tells the story of that role, from Smith-Cumming to John Scarlett.
