The secret world from one Ulster historian

| Readers 680

　I know it’s a stale hangover from the Troubles.  But I still get a kick out of hearing the Ulster accent used to talk about something completely different and not thank God about US all the time. No, it’s not Jimmy or Fergal Sharkey on UK Music or broadcasters like Colin Murray, Peter Curran or our own Lady Gagga to Gloria’s Madonna, Christine Bleakley, but the deeply serious but very witty Keith Jeffrey letting rip on his history of MI6. I got an excellent preview in his Mile End Group lecture at the Foreign Office last April. Now it can be yours to treasure.

　Adds: Keith Jeffrey’s own account of how the book came to be written.
