Richard Tomlinson’s The Big Breach: From Top Secret to Maximum Security offers an insider’s account of the world of espionage and covert operations, written by a former MI6 officer. The book details his experiences in the British intelligence service, offering a first-hand perspective on the complex and secretive world of international espionage. Tomlinson reveals the inner workings of MI6, touching on his recruitment, training, and the various missions he was involved in throughout his career. He explores the psychological and emotional toll of working in such a high-stakes, secretive environment, and his eventual disillusionment with the system. Tomlinson's narrative uncovers some of the moral dilemmas and ethical conflicts inherent in the intelligence world, as well as the contradictions between personal values and professional duty.

The book also highlights Tomlinson’s eventual breach of security protocols, a move that led to his disavowal by MI6. After a series of personal and professional struggles, Tomlinson became increasingly frustrated with the lack of transparency and accountability within the British intelligence apparatus. He exposes various instances where MI6’s operations, including its involvement in sensitive international affairs, were shrouded in secrecy and, at times, questionable practices. Through his detailed account, Tomlinson illustrates how espionage operations are not always as glamorous or morally justified as they are often portrayed. His decision to go public with his experiences was controversial, but it provided a rare glimpse into the hidden world of intelligence work, making the book a significant contribution to the genre of espionage memoirs.
