The world’s first spy agency, Britain’s MI6 was formed just before the First World War. For this authorized history of the organization, Jeffery, professor of British history at Queen’s University, Belfast, was granted access to hitherto secret archives. His very colorful history starts with the chaotic early days and traces the development of classic spy-master techniques.
This event is co-sponsored with Washington, D.C.’s International Spy Museum. More information at www.spymuseum.org.
Jeffrey appeared at the store with Sir John Scarlett, who headed the MI6 from 2004 to 2009.
The speaker was introduced by Mark Stout, historian with the International Spy Museum.
