Elliott, Geoffrey. I Spy: The Secret Life of a British Agent. London: Little Brown, 1998. New ed. 2000. [pb] London: St. Ermin's, 2001. [pb]

From advertisement: The author seeks to learn "the truth about his father," Maj. Kavan Elliott, "World War II saboteur, rogue and peacetime spy[.] Behind an ostensibly respectable facade, his business covered a nomadic life which entangled him in a web of deception,... communist double-agents and interrogation at the hands of the Gestapo and the Hungarian secret police."

1. Never Judge a Man by His Umbrella. Salisbury, UK: Michael Russell, 1991. [pb] London: Chatto and Windus, 1992.

Surveillant 2.2 notes that Elliott was the "lifelong chum of -- and one of the debriefers of -- Kim Philby."

Defty, I&NS 10.1, comments that Elliott "manages to recall his life from childhood to the present day without once revealing that he was ever in SIS." His account of his overseas' assignments "reveals more about the social whirl of a British diplomat than it does about the life of an intelligence officer.... Yet ... Elliott offers a balanced and incisive account of Germany's most successful agent operation in Turkey, the case of the German agent Cicero." Elliott's account of his "confrontation with Philby in Beirut ... offers little in the way of new information, and fails to resolve the controversy surrounding" that meeting.

2. With My Little Eye: Observations Along the Way. Norwich, UK: Michael Russell, 1993.

Surveillant 3.6 says that Elliott "discusses his assessment of the future of intelligence and gives his opinion on the Buster Crabb affair." He says Crabb "had already made one initial dive to examine the Soviet cruiser Ordzhonikidze.... It is his belief that Crabb did not die from any actions from the Soviets ... [but] of respiratory problems ... or from equipment failure." There is also a "section on his interactions (favorable) with James Angleton ... [and some] final reflections on Philby."

Defty, I&NS 10.1, sees nothing in this book "to concern the guardians of official secrecy, and unfortunately very little to interest the academic reader." The first essay "offers a sterling defense of British intelligence, pointing out both the lessons learnt from past failures, and the continued utility of intelligence in the post-Cold War world."

According to Gordievsky, The Spectator, 5 Feb. 1994, "Elliott's book is full of short, elegant vignettes, recollections and some very eccentric friends, amusing anecdotes, jokes and comic quotations."

"The intelligence community and its components must work together as a single enterprise to achieve the agility needed to address the chaotic international environment and myriad challenges of the 21st century."
