A wealth of information in an engaging package. -- Kirkus Reviews
Ever since George Washington used them to help topple the British, spies
and their networks have helped and hurt America at key moments in
history. In this fascinating collection, Paul B. Janeczko probes
examples from clothesline codes to surveillance satellites and cyber
espionage. Colorful personalities, daring missions, the feats of the
loyal, and the damage of traitors are interspersed with a look at the
technological advances that continue to change the rules of gathering
intelligence.
Back matter includes source notes, a bibliography, and an index.
