Sometimes fact can be stranger than fiction.... Author of the brilliant Horrible Histories series has collected some amazing real life spy stories. So, forget James Bond and Ethan Hawk and start reading about the escapades of real spies from Persia in BC 372 in the time of Alexander the Great to 1989 in Germany. Along with the stories are fact files packed with essential information on equipment, disguises and codes to name but three. Fantastic!
