Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

A dramatic narrative of the career of Queen Elizabeth I's intelligence operative documents how he helped the monarch to outmaneuver Catholic Spain and France by pioneering techniques that served to expose double agents, spread disinformation, and decipher codes. By the author of Battle of Wits.


Review:

"Budiansky commendably looks underneath the era's Elizabethan finery to show how the arts of code breaking, propaganda, and 'bureaucratic back-stabbing' became fine-tuned political instruments...."

Bob Cannon, Entertainment Weekly, 08/26/2005
