About the Author
by Adrian Gilbert
Review
Part of the Spy Files series, this slim guide to being a spy provides an overview of all aspects of the business such as disguise expert Antonio Mendez assisting in the escape of U S diplomats during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis and "black bag operations" like Watergate. Surprising bits of trivia include the fact that there's a height cap for spies so they won't stand out. Tips on how to establish a "dead drop" or "shake a tail," and background on individuals like Josephine Baker, who helped smuggle documents for the French during W.W.II, will provide readers with plenty of intrigue, no pun intended. (Publishers Weekly 2009-12-21)
In Spy School, Gilbert reveals how spies are recruited and trained, discussing methods of disguise, surveillance, interrogation, evasion, and escape....The text's short paragraphs and great pictures are combined in a collage style that will draw readers quickly through the information. Useful for reports and browsing. (Cynde Suite, Bartow Library System, Adairsville, G School Library Journal)
