From ancient Rome to Tudor England and up to the 20th century, the art of espionage has come a long way. But one thing has never changed—humans have always found surprisingly creative ways to gather top secret intelligence. This book presents eight of the most notorious spies in history, from Queen Elizabeth I’s 16th-century spymaster to the Serbian-born agent who may have inspired the character of James Bond.
