THE FIRST INSIDER’S ACCOUNT OF MI6 EXPOSES:
•MI6’s espionage against France, Germany and other European countries
•MI6’s disregard for the civil rights of the British public and its own employees
•MI6’s routine use of the media, non-governmental organisations and the United Nations as covers for spying
Richard Tomlinson was recruited initially by MI6, the British foreign intelligence service, during his senior year at Cambridge University. After joining, he quickly gained the trust and confidence of one of the world’s most effective intelligence organisations. He was relied on to smuggle nuclear secrets out of Moscow, to run an undercover operation in Sarajevo while the city was under siege, and to infiltrate and dismantle a criminal group that sought to export chemical weapons capabilities to Iran.
Four years after joining MI6. Tomlinson’s career was abruptly terminated for reasons that are still not clear. When he tried to fight his unjust dismissal, he was arrested for breaking the notorious Official Secrets Act and jailed in one of Britain’s toughest maximum-security prisons.
Following his release MIb continued to hound Tomlinson, launching a smear campaign in the international press and pressuring its allies around the world to arrest and expel him.
The British intelligence service has used threats of legal action to force publishers in several European countries to abandon plans to publish this book.
