Sobre este artículo
New York: Macmillan Pub Co, 1987. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8 vo,. cloth, dust jacket, 830 pages : illustrations [16] plates, a VERY good copy, "One man alone dictated the course of events in the World War II intelligence game-- a more mysterious, more influential, and more devious spymaster than even Allan Dulles, "Wild Bill" Donovan, or Admiral Wilhelm Canaris. He was the man fashioned by Ian Fleming into "M" and by John le Carre into "Control." His name: Stewart Graham Menzies. As chief of British Secret Intelligence Service, "C" delivered to Churchill the greatest achievement in modern intelligence history, Ultra, which enabled SIS to read virtually all crucial wireless signals within the German high command; he struggled bitterly with "Wild Bill" Donovan, head of OSS, for supremacy over all Allied intelligence; and he was betrayed by his handpicked successor, Kim Philby, who, with Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, was discovered to be a Soviet double agent.".
