Real stories of espionage from around the globe
Spies: The Secret Agents Who Changed the Course of History details the stories behind some of the world's most legendary secret agents. From the real-life Manchurian Candidate and the "original" James Bond, to the man who stole the secret of the atomic bomb, this book presents breathtaking stories of espionage around the world. Not all spies are intelligence agents, and these tales include the defectors, moles, and other amateurs who took extraordinary risks for a variety of reasons. Stripped of code names and revealed to the world, these stories bring the reality of espionage to life.
