When it comes to the special relationship that exists between Britain and the United States, it’s frequently brought up by politicians when it suits their purposes. It also has been frequently dismissed as a myth, including by the media. But the truth of the matter is that the two countries have closer relations to each other than to any other ally.

In this novel, the author goes into the backstory of how it all started. It all began 80 years previously when a top-secret visit was made by four American codebreakers in February 1941 to Bletchley Park. This was ten entire months before the United States officially went into World War II.

It would mark the start of a collaboration and a close relationship working together between the two intelligence services of the nations. When that war concluded and the Cold War started up, both sides started to recognize that in the same way that they collaborated to decode German and Japanese ciphers, they could also work together to counter the threat from the Soviets.

Together they laid the foundation for intelligence sharing behind the scenes that has kept going, despite the rivalries that exist among the services, and the occasional public dispute and conflict between the two nations, and continued through the Soviet Union’s collapse, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and all the way through to the threat that is going on at the present moment.

Smith has served in British military intelligence and has brought together all types of characters in this book, from John F. Kennedy to Winston Churchill to Ian Fleming and Margaret Thatcher as well as Ronald Reagan and Edward Snowden. With many in-depth interviews and a variety of personal contacts in the intelligence community, the author takes the reader into the inner workings of the CIA, MI6, and the NSA. With an introduction from Sir John Scarlett and a foreword from former director of the CIA and NSA Michael Hayden, grab a copy of this book to get all of the details and a better understanding of this very special relationship between the two nations.

Foley: The Spy Who Saved 10,000 Jews is a book by Michael Smith that focuses on the efforts of Frank Foley, a man who really existed in history.

Frank Foley was a Passport Control Officer in Berlin during the war and in the process was able to help thousands of Jews to get out of Germany and escape. He was described at a 1961 trial as a Scarlet Pimpernel, putting his own life at risk in order to save Jews that were threatened with death by the Nazis.

His very post at the Passport Office was actually a front for the role that he actually had as MI6 head of station. He did not have any diplomatic immunity and could have been arrested at any time, but despite this, he went into concentration camps to get the Jews out, hid them in his home, and even helped them to get their own forged passports.

One Jewish aid worker thought that he had saved as many as tens of thousands of people from dying in the Holocaust. Frank Foley even received the Righteous Among Nations accolade in January 1999 from Yad Vasham on behalf of Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Centre.

After the award was announced, the author deemed Frank Foley ‘a true British hero’, citing how he worked not just for his country ‘but also for justice and the good of humanity’. He praised him, saying that he saved tens of thousands of lives and that ‘no one could have deserved this award more’.

This book tells in detail for the first time the real heroism and humanity of Frank Foley and what he did to help others. He was a spy, which made the efforts that he did for the Jews all the more dangerous. His British passport control office job was a cover for his true role as the MI6 Head of Station in Berlin.

Int his position, he ignored all the rules and the risks in order to help Jews get out of the country and save their lives. This is a story that has previously been untold, one of the greatest stories of heroism as well as humanity from the second world war. When the Nazis rose to power in the thirties, it was obvious that they had the intent of getting rid of all signs of Jewish influence from Germany and that thousands of Jews were going to suffer at the hands of his acolytes.

For many of the Jews in Germany, Frank Foley would be a man who would go on to become their savior on Earth. He was humane and brave, as well as one of the smartest intelligence officers ever to be part of MI6.

It was part of his flair for recruiting agents that the allies were able to get details of the secret rocket program Hitler was running and its atomic research progress. He also served as the MI6 officer on the Double Cross Committee, recruiting German spies around the globe to work as double agents for the British.
