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.

Since the end of the Second World War many books have been published about the exploits of spies, many based on nothing more substantive than a fertile imagination and some very dubious historical records. Several of these have, however, gained wide circulation, and a few have even been endorsed by respectable historians. Nigel West examines nearly two dozen books, some written by hitherto respected academics, which have been accepted as genuine contributions to Britain's secret history. In reality each was deliberately constructed to deceive the public. The book is inscribed (probably by the author) "To the Guvnor....23v98".
