Desde El espia que surgio del frio hasta la ultima pelicula de James Bond, los servicios secretos britanicos han causado siempre una fuerte fascinacion. Este libro explica como se crearon, quienes son los hombres y mujeres que trabajan para ellos, que papel tuvieron durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, como lograron captar a agentes sovieticos huidos durante la Guerra Fria o de que modo colaboran con la CIA, el Mossad y diversas agencias europeas en su lucha contra el terrorismo. Gordon Thomas es autor de 40 libros publicados en todo el mundo, algunos de los cuales versan sobre distintos aspectos del mundo del espionaje. De sus libros se han vendido mas 45 millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo. / 100 years old in August 2009, this is a complete and up-to-date account of the two oldest and still the most powerful, secretive intelligence services in the world: MI5, the security service, and MI6, the secret intelligence service. This is a story of spectacular triumphs, treachery, their frigid relationship, their untold work with the CIA, Mossad and the spy services of Europe and their part in the fight against terror. It is also the story of two agencies led by men who are enigmatic, eccentric and controversial and who ruthlessly control their spies. From the unique partnership between Mossad and MI6, how MI5 and MI6 became a breeding ground for Soviet spies post-war, their exploitation of the collapse of the Soviet Union and their role in biological warfare, and including how both services monitor the spies of every nation based in London, it reads like fiction. But it's not. Based on prodigious research and interviews with significant players Inside British Intelligence is packed with new and startling information.
