(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) In August 1909, a kindly, balding figure named Mansfield Smith-Cumming was summoned to London by Admiral Alexander Bethell, Director of Naval Intelligence, to assume the inaugural position of Chief – or ‘C’ – of what has become the world's most celebrated intelligence agency, the British Secret Intelligence Service. 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.
