À propos de cette écoute
United Kingdom, Secret Intelligence Service. A story based on real events.
Few people are deemed smart enough to be selected and trained as a spy for Her Majesty’s Government, and fewer qualify. The author is one such man, who was uniquely chosen at the age of 16, the only person still to pass selection without an education through the university system. Carefully written to avoid revealing government secrets, this is his personal story, thrilling, surprising, and an eye opener into the life of A Philippine Spy.
In Andy’s third book, he describes how while a controller for MI6, he was given the task to take over the control of spies in the Philippines from 1975 to 1986. His predecessor, who was retiring from the Service, passed him the file on the subject, but Andy felt he needed to start from scratch. He set himself an impossible timescale to recruit people inside places in Manila that could report the situation during the dictatorship of the Marcos regime. Andy describes in a very clear way how he never needed to bribe, blackmail, or persuade in a way against the will of each individual to pass him information. He could receive a complete picture of the goings-on during those turbulent times. Andy himself would admit, much of his recruitment was due to incredible luck. If you have the skill to manipulate people, do you need luck? You make your own.
