Amazon.com Review Keith Jeffery on Writing The Secret History of MI6 The British Secret Intelligence Service—popularly known as MI6—is the oldest established continuously surviving foreign intelligence-gathering organisation in the world. It has also historically been the most secret department of the British government. Founded in 1909, its existence was not officially acknowledged until 1994. Before then official British representatives had to pretend, sometimes with embarrassing results, that there was no such organisation as ‘MI6’, and even if there was, they ‘couldn’t possibly comment’ about it. Although the agency has had a website since 2005, few details are released about the number of people who work for it or the size of its budget, nor are any of its officers publicly avowed, with the sole exception of the Chief, whose name has been published since 1992. Unlike Britain’s other security and intelligence organisations, MI5 (which covers domestic security, rather like the FBI) and the signals intelligence agency, the blandly-titled Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ; analogous to the NSA), SIS releases absolutely none of its departmental records to the British National Archives. For almost all of its hundred-year existence, the strict line has been taken that the super-secret work of SIS, gathering foreign intelligence from foreign sources, has been of such vital national importance that no iota of information about it could formally be released to the public. Until now. The writing of an officially-authorised history of SIS presents challenges for the agency and historian alike. For the outcome not to appear to be some sort of ‘hack house history’ (and thus vitiate its value as a reliable, scholarly and authoritative work) the author has to be given sufficient freedom—or licence—to exercise his or her own critical judgments. The author, too, has to surmount the wisely sceptical assumptions of colleagues who may believe that the fact that he has been deemed suitable for the task may precisely render him unsuitable to produce a rigorous and independent history. Writing to such a commission necessarily involves accepting some constraints on what may be published, but so long as any redactions are limited to genuine matters of national security (though that itself is a matter of potentially differing judgment), and not simply to protect the agency from embarrassment, or to suppress failure or wrong-doing, it ought to be a price worth paying. It may in some degree be invidious that only a single individual is granted uniquely privileged access to what is certainly the ‘Holy Grail’ of British archives, but since it is the case that for the foreseeable future no similar access will be granted to anyone else, then perhaps the risk is worth taking. --Keith Jeffery - Wikipedia Secret Intelligence Service; SIS: ; : 1909 MI6 Attacked Jewish Refugee Ships After WWII - The Daily Beast As Jewish survivors of the Holocaust the pitiful remnants of Historys greatest crime tried to make their way across an often hostile Europe at the end Samuel Hoare 1st Viscount Templewood - Wikipedia Youth Hoare was born in London an Anglican descendant of the Quaker Samuel Hoare and the son of Sir Samuel Hoare 1st Baronet to whose baronetcy he succeeded in 1915 History of the pub - The Prae Wood Arms St Albans The Prae Wood Arms St Albans Sir Francis Bacon left the house to his former secretary Sir Thomas Meautys and in 1652 the estate passed to Sir Harbottle Secret Intelligence Service Wikipedia Der Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) ist der britische Auslandsgeheimdienst Er ist besser bekannt unter dem Namen MI6 MI6 steht fr Military Intelligence Secret Intelligence Service - Wikipedia Secret Intelligence Service; MI6: Agency overview; Formed: 1909; 108 years ago () Preceding Secret Intelligence Service Wikipdia Secret Intelligence Service: Logo du Secret Intelligence Service SIS Building le sige du MI6 James Bond - Wikipedia James Bond codenaam 007 is een fictief personage gecreerd in 1953 door de Britse schrijver Ian Fleming die hem opvoerde in twaalf romans en twee verhalenbundels Sir John Scarlett: 'MI6 has no room for mavericks' - Telegraph Sir John Scarlett: 'MI6 has no room for mavericks In a rare interview ex-spy chief Sir John Scarlett tells Neil Tweedie about lifting the lid on the Secret Intelligence Service - Wikipedia De Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) in de volksmond bekend als MI6 (Military Intelligence Section 6) is de Britse buitenlandse inlichtingendienst de zusterdienst
