LONDON — Britain's spies have come in from the cold with an authorized history of their early exploits.

"MI6" is being published Tuesday and tells the story of the country's foreign intelligence agency from its foundation in 1909 to 1949.

It is written by Keith Jeffery, a historian at Queen's University Belfast, who had access to previously secret files from the MI6 archive.

The stories describe the agency's exploits in World War I and World War II, and contain some sensitive revelations. They include an account of Operation Embarrass, in which British agents blew up ships to deter postwar Jewish refugees from sailing to Palestine, then under British control.
