“The Secret Service holds much that is kept secret even from very senior officers in the organization. Only M. and his Chief of Staff know absolutely everything there is to know. The latter is responsible for keeping the Top Secret record known as The War Book so that, in the event of the death of both of them, the whole story, apart from what is available to individual Sections and Stations, would be available to their successors.”
A British author and journalist. **Ian Fleming**, creator of the world's best-known secret agent, was consultant on foreign affairs to the *London Sunday Times*.
