The most popular spy of our times is James Bond but his life too would seem very staid if compared to the lives of spies who have been described in this ebook.While reading this book I realized that while our perception is that wars are fought with weapons and armors, in actuality there are invisible forces which wield the power. They remain hidden, almost no one ever comes to know them, in fact they live and die a life of anonymity. It was thrilling to read this book especially the biographies of famous spies like Mata Hari, Ramsay and Garbo that would give James Bond a run for his money.The one thing that was common amongst the spies was courage, intelligence and a passion for adventure and the author captures this essence in his narration. It is thoroughly enjoyable to read this book and has been a spur to read more on secret agents atleast for me!
