Book Description
"The history of espionage is as old as the history of mankind," says Kurt Singer.
Himself the writer of half a dozen books on spies and traitors, this subject has so fascinated him that it has become his hobby, and out of his vast private collection of spy stories, both fact and fiction, he has selected those that he considers the best for inclusion in this book.
The heights and the depths, the noble and the sordid, the infinite variety of human emotions that motivate the spy - all are explored by such distinguished story tellers as Somerset Maugham, T.E. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad and Edgar Wallace to name but a few, and the readers who loves to lose himself in a good spy story will find here all the excitement and thrills, the glamour and the danger, which epitomise the act of aspionage.
