Streng geheim

From ancient Rome to Tudor England and into the 20th century, the art of espionage has evolved enormously. One thing, however, has always remained the same: the boundless ingenuity of people in finding ever-new ways to obtain strictly secret information. This book presents eight of the most notorious spies in history, from Queen Elizabeth I's master spy in the 16th century to the secret agent who inspired Ian Fleming's James Bond character.
