Title: Casual Guide to the World of Espionage
Review: This is a fun outsider's guide to espionage. The text is accessible enough for readers as young as early teens. Artwork complements the text nicely.Good:-Casual treatment of real espionage subject matter-Writing is a very easy read-Anecdotes and historic figures and incidents-Direct quotes from spies and related personnel-Material attempts to relate spy skills to everyday life, travel, etc.Bad:-Could have been a little more in-depth-Some treatment of the subject was a little sillyReading this book will not, obviously, prepare one for work as a spy. It does pull back the curtain on an interesting field and makes some of the techniques applicable to non-spy activities.This book would make a good gift for anyone (from young teens to adults) having an interest in the subject, or perhaps as a light (!) introduction for those curious about what espionage or intelligence as a career might entail.
