As Daniel Craig storms the screen as James Bond in “Skyfall” this weekend, MI6, the British Secret Service, is once again on America’s mind.
According to Gordon Corera, security correspondent for the BBC, “For most of its existence, secrecy was so prized that MI6 did not even exist. At least, not officially.”
Gordon reveals the secret history of MI6 from World War II to the present in his new book, “The Art of Betrayal: The Secret History of MI6.”
