Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The British Secret Service has been accused of being heartless and incompetent many times over the years. The phrase unhappily, East Germany had been part of my accuser’s parish in the days when we had worked together goes through my mind.

#2 The lunch with Oldfield did not go as smoothly as I had hoped. Over the hors d’oeuvres, Oldfield extolled the ethical standards of his old Service, and implied that young David had besmirched its good name.

#3 The British have had a long-standing love-hate relationship with their spies. They want the image, but they don’t want to put up with negative reviews or derision.

#4 The British spy system is the envy of every spook in the free and unfree world. No good pointing out that many approved memoirs of former members depict the Service in the clothes in which it likes to be admired.
