Okay, we are live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show of a very special guest. He comes just from the UK. His name is Henry Hemming. His last name is spelled H-E-M-M-I-M-I-N-G. And I had him on a couple years ago, 2021, to talk about a book I was interested in because of its titleair Cruelly. The title of that book is Agent M.,

0:22.4

The Lives and Spies of MI5s, Maximum. I highly suggest people check that out.

1:35.6

story. Maybe Americans don't know that much about this. The troubles in Northern Ireland, really
