Charles Beaumont, a former British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) officer, discusses his career. Beaumont, whose identity is concealed due to British laws, shares insights into his recruitment, MI6's evolution from Cold War operations to counter-terrorism after 9/11, and his personal experiences serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The conversation also covers his transition to civilian life as a security consultant and his decision to write spy novels like "A Spy Alone" and "A Spy at War," which explore themes of Russian influence and contemporary espionage.
