Official Secrets

Book tickets

Expert espionage historian Mark Dunton opens the vault on MI5’s secret century, drawing on his unparalleled access to The National Archives’ declassified files on the Britain’s Security Service from its founding in 1909 to today.

From the exploits of extraordinarily successful female agents to the psychology of traitors, plus new information about the Profumo Affair and the Cambridge Spy Ring, this event pulls back the curtain on the shadowy world of spycraft. 

“It’s the oldest question of all, George. Who can spy on the spies?”
John le Carré from Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Mark Dunton will be in conversation with author Jane Thynne, whose latest novel, Appointment in Paris revolves around a particularly fascinating British intelligence operation in WW2 at Trent Park.
