The Art of Betrayal: The Secret History of MI6: Life and Death in the British Secret Service
“As  a good journalist and a reader of spy novels, Corera presents his  material as fast-paced stories, from the covert diplomacy of the Cold  War to recent security concerns in Afghanistan and the Middle East.” (The TImes (London))“The best post-1949 account of British intelligence I have read. This is as good as it gets.”“An absorbing study focused on the questionable cost of gathering secrets.” (Kirkus Reviews)“This  well-written, hard-hitting book shows that MI6 has never in the past  put its own conscience before its duty to protect the public. It mustn't  start now.” (Andrew Roberts - The Wall Street Journal)
