For centuries, nations have employed spies to stay one step ahead of the enemy, knowing that wars aren't won or lost just on the battlefield. This compelling book focuses on the espionage that took place during World War II. It demonstrates how its era's agents, double agents and moles communicated and completed daring missions, all while using various tools, tricks and technology to outwit one another. Famous spies such as Eddie Chapman are profiled, and a wealth of historical photography and a timeline of important events add further historical context.
