Personal Quote:
[on his time with British intelligence] Patriotism was easily tapped in those days. It was always extraordinary how ready people were. On special operations, banging on a door in a hurry, saying "We need to get up to that window and look down onto the street - oh, I'm from MI5," you'd show some stupid piece of card, and they'd say "Oh yes, can I bring you a cup of tea?"
