This exciting sequel, Too Secret Too Long, provides a torrent of new disclosures to sweep away more ofthe cover~ups and officially sponsored legends that conceal the truth aboutthe appalling extent to which the British secret services have been penetrated and manipulated by Soviet agents. The author reveals how, in case after case, spies have been able to operate unhindered against the West because they were assisted by protective hands within those secret services. There can, for instance, no longer be any doubt that such a traitor inside the counter~spy organization, M15, prevented for many years the detection of Soviet spies; Pincher has no hesitation in calling him the Spy of the Century. Working with him, and protected by him, was a woman, Moscow~trained, of such dedication, courage and resource that she qualifies to be regarded as the most successful female spy of all time. After three years of intensive investigation, her full story is at last revealed. This first, full~scale analysis of Britain's sorry security record exposes how blunders have been covered up by successive governments, anxious to conceal the incompetence of M15. Further, it provides documentary proof that Parliament and the public have been misled by ministerial statements based on information supplied by M15. It includes information hitherto unknown to the security authorities, and destined to lead to Parliamentary demands for action. The contents of this remarkable book constitute a compelling case for the establishment of some form of independent supervision of the secret services. Chapman Pincher is convinced that this is the only sure means of strengthening their competence and loyalty. Chapman Pincher has been probing the world of spies and counter~spies for more than thirty years. Such is his success that he is feared by both. Nobody in the history of investigative writing has revealed such a string of disclosures, and his unrivalled capability for finding out what governments wish to suppress, and publishing it, has earned hirn the admiration even of those whom it embarrasses. His habit of being proved right, even ~ one might say especially ~ when his revelations have been denied, was vividly dernonstrated by his last book, Their Trade is Treachery, already a classic in the field of intelligence reportage. Its publication led to the first independent inquiry into the secret services for twenty years. The author rates this new book, Too Secret Too Long, as the rnost important of his long career, and he is confident that it will have even deeper poiitical impact than its predecessor. During his thirty~three years in Fleet Street, Chapman Pincher invented reporting in the fields of defence, intelligence and secret science as it is practised in every newspaper today. Now essentially a full~time author, he is able to concentrate his skills on securing confidences from ministers and officials on the subjects of intelligence and security.".
