Fascinating. Seemed to have some inconsistencies, though!

Disjointed and dull...as though your least favorite relative was telling the story whilst doing something else.

I'm just not into this type of book at the moment, I can't seem to concentrate on it, so I will come back to it when I know I will rather than force myself to finish it and just end up hating it.

Long, sprawling history of MI6. Rather than an exciting recounting of multiple spy adventures, this book drills down into a little too much detail of five or six incidents. Less would have been more. I also winder how accurate it's stories are, especially the 9/11 rehash. Epilogue of long "What's the Secret Service for in 2015?" handwringing.
