City Reads: Secrets and Sensitivities
Christopher Andrew and Christopher Meyer
From espionage to diplomacy, covert actions that never reach the public domain are regularly carried out in our name. How much do we know? And how much should we know? In the first of two City Reads events inspired by Ian Fleming's From Russia with Love, Christopher Andrew and Christopher Meyer lift the lid on secrets and sensitivities, British style. Christopher Andrew is the best-selling author of Defence of the Realm: The Authorised History of MI5 and an all-new introduction to Fleming's novel. Christopher Meyer was British Ambassador to Washington at the time of 9/11 and the Iraq war. He's the author of the explosive new history: Getting Our Way: 500 Years of Adventure and Intrigue.
This event will be chaired by Steven Gale.
