reviewed The Ultimate Spy Book on July 04, 2014 The Ultimate Spy Book
Nice read! I read the updated and expanded (2009) version. It's clear, and written in a laid-back (but professional) writing style.
The Ultimate Spy Book is a well-organized review of international spying. It starts by addressing who might be motivated to spy, followed by a history of pre-WWI spying, then an overview of famous operations, spy cities, techniques, spy gear (very interesting!) and ends with how to be a spy.
Not surprisingly, there's an emphasis on the US, Soviet Union, and Germany, but there's nice coverage of British, French, and Japanese spy histories as well.
There's a handy glossary at the end of the book.
The only criticism I have is for the weird spelling and grammatical errors in the text ("...face plate sown into coat" p. 82.). If you can overlook that, then you're in for an informational ride!
BTW: A lot of what's in this book is available for viewing at the Pacific Science Center (Seattle) until Sept. 1, 2014. I highly recommend it.
