Synopsis
As a young Army officer, Robert Baden-Powell was stationed in Malta as an aide to his uncle, General Sir Henry Augustus Smyth. While there, he also served as intelligence officer for the Mediterranean for the Director of Military Intelligence and it was in this role that he had many of the adventures described in this book, travelling to investigate fortifications. Written in 1915, and including Baden-Powell's thoughts on German espionage before and in the first years of the First World War, My Adventures as a Spy describes such techniques as how to convey secret information using drawings of butterfly wings, how to quickly disguise yourself, how to safely produce plans of fortresses and observe troops and how to get past sentries.

Review
B-P’s thoughts on Imperial Germany’s espionage activities before World War I broke out and then during the conflict’s early stages sparked the original publication of this book in 1915. In this new edition, B-P’s text is complemented by line drawings and a 16-page section of very interesting black-and-white photographs, especially of pre-WWI armies’ maneuvers and fortresses. Do you need to know how to convey secret information using drawings of butterfly wings? Want to learn how to don a quick but effective disguise? Need insights about how to get past sentries safely to observe foreign armies and produce plans of fortresses? Then “My Adventures as a Spy” is the perfect book for you! (Toy Soldier and Model Figure Magazine)
