4.0 out of 5 stars The [w]right stuff MI5 vs MI6, 24 Nov 2005
By A Customer
This is above all an entertaining book really. There is something about it that makes you want to re-read it again after you just finished. I gave it four stars cause it starts to plod a bit say two thirds in, although picks up again towards the end. It tells the story of Wright's career, his eventual job as a spy catcher within MI5, some of the more famous spys he dealt with and MI5's relations with MI6, GCHQ the FBI and CIA.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting topic, shame about the book, 15 Nov 2007
A fairly revealing account of an engaging topic and the juicy details of high-level and high-profile national betrayal. Unfortunately, although there are infrequent glimpses into the clandestine world of Oxbridge liberals-turned-spy, Peter Wright all too often tends to get bogged down in technical and bureaucratic details, making this a somewhat effortsome read.

I remember still being at school when this book was first released, to much media to-do. Not being particularly interested in spies nor in politics, I ignored it first time round, but when I saw the book at a relatively cheap price, I decided to give it a go. If you happen to find it, I would advise this book only if you feel able to skim the less interesting padding, or willing to plough through it. All in all, this isn't really a book worth seeking out, and I'd stick with Ian Fleming.
