Six tells the complete story of the service's birth and early
years, including the tragic, untold tale of what happened to
Britain's extensive networks in Soviet Russia between the wars. It
reveals for the first time how the playwright and MI6 agent Harley
Granville Barker bribed the Daily News to keep Arthur Ransome in
Russia, and the real reason Paul Dukes returned there. It shows
development of tradecraftA" and the great personal risk officers
and their agents took, far from home and unprotected. In Salonika,
for example, Lieutenant Norman Dewhurst realised it was time to
leave when he opened his door to find one of his agents hanging
dismembered in a sack. This first part of Six takes us up to the
eve of the conflict, using hundreds of previously unreleased files
and interviews with key players to show how one of the world's most
secretive of secret agencies originated and developed into
something like the MI6 we know today. The second part, published in
Spring 2012, will tell the story from the outbreak of World War Two
to the present.
