Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secret Service All countries, as long as war is possible, need to be acquainted with the nature of foreign armaments, their state of readiness, and their probable disposition in the case Of war. In this book I have traced briefly the growth Of the British Secret Service and have given some personal experiences before turning to my main subject - the part played by the Secret Service in the Great War 1914 - 1918. The personal notes, which will be found chiefly in the early chapters, have been inserted partly to-ex plain the nature of the author's experiences which covered about forty years of secret service work, and partly to enable the reader to approach the climax of the Great War from the same angle as the author, in the light of these experiences.

Book Synopsis Celebrated Spies and Famous Mysteries by : George Barton
Download or read book Celebrated Spies and Famous Mysteries written by George Barton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Celebrated Spies and Famous Mysteries: The Great War This book, while complete in itself, may be accepted as a companion volume to my earlier production, "The World's Greatest Military Spies and Secret Service Agents." The previous work pictured the notable spies of the past from the days of the first Napoleon until the Spanish-American War, while the present narrative deals with the secret romance and adventure of the world's greatest war. It will be noticed that the subject matter of these pages covers not only the celebrated spies of the war, but also the great mysteries of the awful conflict. Thus we have a combination of real stories which, for absorbing interest, will compete with the most thrilling tales of fiction. These actual men and women furnish the color to the sadness and the gray monotony of the war. Some of the characters rest under deserved obloquy. One of the saddest reflections is that every war produces its Benedict Arnolds, and the present one furnishes no exception to this rule. But human nature is a complex thing. To understand motives, it is necessary to study the personality of the subject and all of the details leading to the act, and even then we are often inclined to suspend judgment. Such a bundle of contradictions are the creatures known as men and women. This is not a history of the espionage of the war.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Greatest Military Spies and Secret Service Agents The romance of war in its most thrilling form is exemplified in this narrative of the adventures of The World's Greatest Military Spies and Secret Service Agents. Much has been published upon the subject of espionage, and the memoirs and secret histories of the courts of Europe give us instances of men and women who have gained favor and money, if not honor and glory, by selling back-stairs gossip concern ing their fellow creatures; but the aim of the present work has been rather to relate the big exploits of those who faced great personal danger and risked their lives for the sake of flag and country.

Book Synopsis The Spy and the Traitor by : Ben Macintyre
Download or read book The Spy and the Traitor written by Ben Macintyre and published by Crown. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The celebrated author of Double Cross and Rogue Heroes returns with a thrilling Americans-era tale of Oleg Gordievsky, the Russian whose secret work helped hasten the end of the Cold War. “The best true spy story I have ever read.”—JOHN LE CARRÉ Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist • Shortlisted for the Bailie Giffords Prize in Nonfiction If anyone could be considered a Russian counterpart to the infamous British double-agent Kim Philby, it was Oleg Gordievsky. The son of two KGB agents and the product of the best Soviet institutions, the savvy, sophisticated Gordievsky grew to see his nation's communism as both criminal and philistine. He took his first posting for Russian intelligence in 1968 and eventually became the Soviet Union's top man in London, but from 1973 on he was secretly working for MI6. For nearly a decade, as the Cold War reached its twilight, Gordievsky helped the West turn the tables on the KGB, exposing Russian spies and helping to foil countless intelligence plots, as the Soviet leadership grew increasingly paranoid at the United States's nuclear first-strike capabilities and brought the world closer to the brink of war. Desperate to keep the circle of trust close, MI6 never revealed Gordievsky's name to its counterparts in the CIA, which in turn grew obsessed with figuring out the identity of Britain's obviously top-level source. Their obsession ultimately doomed Gordievsky: the CIA officer assigned to identify him was none other than Aldrich Ames, the man who would become infamous for secretly spying for the Soviets. Unfolding the delicious three-way gamesmanship between America, Britain, and the Soviet Union, and culminating in the gripping cinematic beat-by-beat of Gordievsky's nail-biting escape from Moscow in 1985, Ben Macintyre's latest may be his best yet. Like the greatest novels of John le Carré, it brings readers deep into a world of treachery and betrayal, where the lines bleed between the personal and the professional, and one man's hatred of communism had the power to change the future of nations.

Book Synopsis On Secret Service East of Constantinople by : Peter Hopkirk
Download or read book On Secret Service East of Constantinople written by Peter Hopkirk and published by John Murray. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the banner of a Holy War, masterminded in Berlin and unleashed from Constantinople, the Germans and the Turks set out in 1914 to foment violent revolutionary uprisings against the British in India and the Russians in Central Asia. It was a new and more sinister version of the old Great Game, with world domination as its ultimate aim. Here, told in epic detail and for the first time, is the true story behind John Buchan's classic wartime thriller Greenmantle, recounted through the adventures and misadventures of the secret agents and others who took part in it. It is an ominously topical tale today in view of the continuing turmoil in this volatile region where the Great Game has never really ceased.
Book Synopsis MI6: British Secret Intelligence Service Operations, 1909–1945 by : Nigel West
Download or read book MI6: British Secret Intelligence Service Operations, 1909–1945 written by Nigel West and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2020-01-19 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of GCHG describes covert missions that “are worthy of spy fiction, but the entire book is utterly fascinating and informative. Brilliant!” (Books Monthly) Written by the renowned expert Nigel West, this book exposes the operations of Britain’s overseas intelligence-gathering organization, the famed Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, and traces its origins back to its inception in 1909. In this meticulously researched account, its activities and structure are described in detail, using original secret service documents. The main body of the book concerns MI6’s operations during the Second World War, and includes some remarkable successes and failures, including how MI6 financed a glamorous confidant of the German secret service; how a suspected French traitor was murdered by mistake; how Franco’s military advisors were bribed to keep Spain out of the war; how members of the Swedish secret police were blackmailed into helping the British war effort; how a sabotage operation in neutral Tangiers enabled the Allied landings in North Africa to proceed undetected; and how Britain’s generals ignored the first ULTRA decrypts because MI6 said that the information had come from “a well-placed source called BONIFACE.” In this new edition, operations undertaken by almost all of MI6’s overseas stations are recounted in extraordinary detail. They will fascinate both the professional intelligence officer and the general reader. The book includes organizational charts to illustrate MI6’s internal structure and its wartime network of overseas stations. Backed by numerous interviews with intelligence officers and their agents, this engaging inside story throws light on many wartime incidents that had previously remained unexplained. “[An] extraordinary book.” —The Daily Telegraph “Fascinating reading.” —Firetrench
Book Synopsis The Secret Hand by : Valentine Williams
Download or read book The Secret Hand written by Valentine Williams and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret Hand: Some Further Adventures, by Desmond Okewood of the British Secret Service Mr. Arthur Mackwayte slipped noislessly into the dining-room and took his place at the table. He always moved quietly, a look of gentle deprecation on his face as much as to say: "Really, you know, I can't help being here: if you will just overlook me this time, by and by you won't notice I'm there at all!" That was how he went through life, a shy, retiring little man, quiet as a mouse, gentle as a dove, modesty personified. Once a week, however, he fairly screamed at the public from the advertisement columns of "The Referee" "Mackwayte, in his Celebrated Kirbstone Sketches. Wit! Pathos!! Tragedy!!! The Greatest Portrayer of London Characters since the late Chas. Dickens. 23, Laleham Villas, Seven Kings. 'Phone" and so on. But only professionally did Mr. Mackwayte thus blow his own trumpet, and then in print alone. For the rest, he had nothing great about him but his heart. A long and bitter struggle for existence had left no hardness in his smooth-shaven flexible face, only wrinkles. His eyes were grey and keen and honest, his mouth as tender as a woman's. His daughter, Barbara, was already at table pouring out the tea - high tea is still an institution in music-hall circles.

Download or read book A Secret Agent in Port Arthur (Classic Reprint) written by Wirt Gerrare and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Secret Agent in Port Arthur No one who has seen anything of the fighting between the Russians and the Japanese needs to make any apology when presenting to the public a truthful account of any events of which he was an eye-witness. Very little was actually seen by any newspaper correspondent, and every history of the war, and even of each campaign, must depend for many particulars upon official reports, with which the public are familiar. I do not profess to have attempted to compile anything like a detailed story of the siege. Instead, I have preferred to give merely my own experiences in Port Arthur and elsewhere in Manchuria and the Far East; to describe what I saw, to repeat something of what was told to me, to say what I thought of such happenings as interested me, and to write of the people whom I met when in quest of information. Some of the things I have set down may throw sidelights upon certain phases of the war, and if what I have written induces readers to think for themselves what ought to be the policy in the Far East of Great Britain and the United States, then my object will have been attained.

Book Synopsis Operation Garbo by : Juan Pujol García
Download or read book Operation Garbo written by Juan Pujol García and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was GARBO to the Allies and ALARIC to the Germans – the most successful double agent of the Second World War. Indeed, his spy network across Britain was so highly regarded that he was decorated for his achievements ... by both sides. Throughout the war, GARBO kept the Germans supplied with reports from his ring of twenty-four agents. Hitler's spymasters never discovered or even suspected a double-cross, but all the agents in GARBO's network existed solely in his imagination. In one of the most daring espionage coups of all time, GARBO persuaded the enemy to hold back troops that might otherwise have defeated the Normandy landings on D-Day; without him, the Second World War could have taken a completely different course. For decades, GARBO's true identity was a closely guarded secret. After the war, he vanished. Years later, after faking his own death, Juan Pujol García was persuaded by the author to emerge from the shadowy world of espionage, and in this new edition of his classic account, now updated to include his agents' original MI5 files, GARBO reveals his unique story.
