March 26 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
True Spy Stories
A talk by Rob Smith
A talk about espionage and counter intelligence that tells the true stories that inspired spy fiction.
You will hear about the reasons the British security services were set up, how they are organised, their role in two world wars and the cold war and the work they do today.
You will hear true spy stories, like the amazing tale of Agent Zigzag, the woman SIS operative that helped catch Russian double agent Kim Philby, the unfortunate Agent Snow and the ungentlemanly warfare conducted by Section D, and the role beautiful St Ermin’s Hotel played in the story.
