We all wonder about the double-life world of spies. But how much of what we read about secret agents is fact? In this book a writer specializing in espionage matters assesses, clearly and with numerous case histories, all we know about the modern spy, from Kim Philby to Howard Hunt: how he is recruited; what his work consists of; how he himself recruits sub-agents; what happens to the men and women who succeed - and those who fail. The final chapter looks at the future of spying and counter-spying: will technology take over entirely, or will the spy always be among us?
