In The Shadows takes a long, hard look at the shadowy and often sinister world of international espionage throughout the last 100 years. It examines how the world’s leading agencies were formed; their structure; where and how they operate; their greatest triumphs….and their greatest failures. The book also describes the daring exploits of some of the world’s greatest – and most notorious – spies. These include Mata Hari, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who passed US nuclear secrets to the Soviets, and the British ‘Cambridge spies’ who shocked a nation. Today, the world’s intelligence community is just as active as it was during the height of the Cold War. But now the agencies are more concerned with terrorism; rogue states and drug smuggling than global conflict.
