My Philadelphia Inquirer Review Of 'I Lie For A Living: Greatest Spies Of All Time'

My review of I Lie For a Living: Greatest Spies of All Time appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2006.

I Lie for a Living: Greatest Spies of All Time is a timely book that concisely presents the best spies and covert operators known to history. Published by National Geographic with the International Spy Museum, the small book contains photos an profiles of the patriots, traitors, adventurers and poets that have dealt in the dark trade of espionage. They lie, cheat, steal and sometimes kill in the name of love, country, ideology and money. Students of history and fans of spy thrillers will enjoy this book.
