MI6: Fifty Years of Special Operations is a book by author Stephen Dorril. The book alleges that MI6 has functioned as the backstair interventionist instrument of British foreign policy. The author tells of disruptive actions by secret services like successful coups such as the overthrow of the moderate Iranian leader, Mohammed Mossadeq, who was hated by the British because he had nationalized Iran's oil industry[1], attempted assassinations in Libya and Egypt, forging Swiss bank account documents in East Germany, and psychological warfare such as planting of false information, secret funding of propaganda and smearing opponents.[2]
