There are some revelations on Brazil's communism in the most detailed and authoritative history of the first 40 years (1909-1949) of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, which was released this week by the London publishers, Bloomsbury and in the USA by Penguin.

Among the fascinating exploits of SIS revealed in the book are the role the Service performed in the US, during both World Wars, in persuading the Americans to support the British war effort.

There are also insights into how SIS helped prevent a Communist revolution in Brazil in 1935, how, during the Second World War, SIS supervised the work of the code-breakers of Bletchley Park, the role of the SIS in North Africa, the build-up to D-Day, and the Service's role in tracking the development of German V-weapons.

The work also reveals that Her Majesty's spies experimented with semen to write secret messages. They found out that sperm could be used as invisible ink because it shines under ultraviolet light and doesn't react to chemical substances used for detection.
