The MI5 Spy and the IRA: Operation Chiffon

SINOPSIS

Journalist Peter Taylor reveals the story of how a former undercover MI5 officer put his life and career on the line to encourage the IRA to end its violent campaign and embrace politics. The former MI5 officer, simply known as Robert, ran the top-secret back channel of communications between the UK government and the leadership of the IRA. What Robert did has been a closely guarded secret for three decades and was the key link in the chain that led to the Good Friday Agreement.
