"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.

    Amazing price and super fast shipping. Book arrived exactly as described in the correct box meant to ship books. No bumps or dings in the corner because of the attention to packaging. I'll keep an eye on this seller for another purchase. Highly recommend this seller!!!!

    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!
