... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 40) Winter 2000/1 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 40 Rebranding SIS Corinne Souza SIS is dead- you read it first in Lobster- but the funeral has not been announced. Established in 1909, it will not make its centenary. SIS once offered a global brand operating in a market that had been previously divided along the lines of accepted cartels (market fixing). Its market-share, however, has been under threat for years from surviving members of the cartel; and they ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 42) Winter 2001/2 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 42 SIS: Dearlove, Spedding and PR Corinne Souza In October the US Government hired advertising doyenne Charlotte Beers as Under-Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs. (1) She intended 'commissioning research into the Arab mentality', confirming what we already knew: the American Government has so little respect for its many Arab/Muslim citizens, it has had to commission research into who they are. Had the American government even ...

... the British Embassy in Teheran. Although Dorril does not say so, her students included the late Alexis Forter (see below). It is a pity that Dorril did not build up his 'walk-ons' to include, for example, the lawyers and accountants used by SIS to provide the administrative infrastructure for many of their businessmen assets. The late lawyer Hugh Sinclair, who had distinguished SIS family connections, comes to mind. Dorril does mention lawyer Michael Palmer who, and in a different context, hit the headlines eighteen months ago ...

... to pay for the war is one of his major themes. But, in his view, the illusion was sustained by the politicians, and not by the Civil Service- what he calls 'the permanent government'- and certainly not by the secret Civil Service, SIS (MI6). For Verrier's second thesis, the one I guess he really cares about, is that SIS got it right. There it is, out front, in the final paragraph of his introduction. "Both SIS and the Security Service ..have officers ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 29) June 1995 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 29 The Perfect English Spy Tom Bower, Heinemann, London This is the biography of Dick White, the only man to have been head of both MI5 and MI6 (SIS) and it is a massive breach of the new Official Secrets Act. For Bower not only had access to White's memoir of the period, with White to vouch for him, he spoke to 'dozens' of former officers, mostly SIS, all of whom have ...

... about the subject, or who, like chair Tom King, had been part of the system as a minister, said committee had investigated nothing of consequence and issued a number of anodyne reports. No new revelatory horrors seemed to be on the horizon. MI5 and SIS had got their new buildings- rewards for the miners' strike and Gordievsky, respectively- through the Whitehall system before the cuts began to fall, and were both branching out into new areas. MI5 were even generating new kinds of 'subversives'- animal rights ...

... been told in which ways. Notwithstanding all that, here are the bits and pieces I found of most interest on reading the book version. In one section pp.48-49 (which also appeared in the Sunday Times on 4 February) Tomlinson describes how his intake of new SIS recruits were briefed by the then SIS chief McColl. One of the new recruits put the obvious question:' "Sir, why do we have an intelligence service at all? There are countries more important on the world stage, with much more powerful economies ...

There are quite detailed portraits of three of her father's SIS case officers. Two are identified, one remains under a pseudonym; two were the kind of urbane, civilised people we are led to believe work for Her Majesty's Secret Service; one, the late Alexis Forte, was an obnoxious Russian racist. There is ...

... Secretary Halifax and his number two, Butler, in June 1940. De Courcy, who had persuaded Butler of the need to explore some kind of armistice with Germany, knew Prytz, probably as a result of his activities on behalf of Stewart Menzies, Chief of SIS. As is well known the talks were stopped by Churchill who threatened to lock up both Halifax and Butler. De Courcy himself had to lie low and found himself under suspicion again when the Hess affair blew up in May of the following year. These two ...
