The author retells some of the great wartime spy stories from history, beginning with Biblical references and ending with World War I and Mata Hari. His interest is in the chess-like game played by spies, and the drama involved in victory or defeat. The author does not choose sides in his narrative, and by stressing neutrality he is able to concentrate on the complications and action involved. - Summary by Mark Harrington
