80-5407<br >A uthor s Foreword<br > THOUGH Dirty Tricks is a work of fiction it is also a<br >serious account of the operations of clandestine intelligence and, in<br >particular, of the "deception techniques," as the professionals call<br >them, which such work entails. It also offers a close look into the<br >minds of those who devise and perpetrate them.<br > Counter-intelligence and especially the deception of hostile intelli-<br >gence services by disinformation--the intelligence jargon for lies,<br >frame-ups, double crosses and other"dirty tricks"--has become of far<br >greater international significance than espionage in its common con-<br >cept, the surreptitious gleaning of secret information and removal of<br >documents by spies.<br > It is my view, after many years spent on the fringes of secret service<br >and security work, and occasionally inside it, that none of the inci-<br >dents presented here, however outrageous they may seem, are beyond<br >the bounds of likelihood, including those "dirty tricks" which the<br >otherwise friendly British and American secret services may play on<br >each other. Indeed, some are based on genuine events that have come<br >to my knowledge through personal friendship with men who have<br >served in the fields I describe.<br > So, once again, in a work of fiction I have to record my debt to<br >senior officials past and present in the Secret Intelligence Service<br >(M 16), the Security Service (M 15), Defence Intelligence, the Foreign<br >Office, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon, and to<br >certain members of the KGB.<br >
