Key Figures in Espionage: The Good, the Bad, & the Booty

With the voice of forty-five years in the Intelligence Community, Bayard & Holmes explore the lives of the espionage elite.

•A one-legged woman operating behind Nazi lines, deemed to be "the most dangerous spy in all of France."
•A young man left for dead, not worth a Viet Cong bullet, who survives to fight terrorists for six more decades.
•A homeless child who becomes an iconic showgirl, entertaining world leaders while running spy rings from the top stages of Europe.
•A traitor operating at the top of Western intelligence whose betrayals caused the deaths of thousands.

More heroic and more treacherous than any fiction Hollywood could produce are these genuine operatives of the Shadow World, who prove that "we're only human" is not an excuse to fail, but a reason to succeed.
