"The story of MI5's transformation… is fascinating. So too is Rimington's account of her rise in what was very definitely a man's world." -- The Guardian "The most effective Secret Service is the one which is secret. She should shut up." -- Bernard Ingham "Stella Rimington deserves our thanks for resisting the bullying of the cabinet office and many of her colleagues and associates in Whitehall and pushing on to publication." -- New Statesman From the Trade Paperback edition., Was she right to publish? Most certainly. If we are to have a mature attitude to our intelligence services, we need this kind of inside account - it is vital in stripping away mystique and building understanding, "The story of MI5's transformation… is fascinating.

    The book that was shown was not the book that I received. Nonetheless, when I informed the seller that it wasn't the item they advertised-/they were more than willing to make it right. Since they didn't have another copy of the title I was expecting, they promptly issued an apology; and refund full refund. I really appreciated the speed at which they were willing to make things right with this transaction. I will definitely not hesitate to do business with them again. Thank You!
