Description

Spies trade in stealth and secrets. From Belle Boyd in the American Civil War to legendary Soviet spy Richard Sorge to Fred and Ethel Rosenberg, these traitors—or heroes, depending upon your outlook—risked everything for their lives of double-dealing. Enter the shadowy world of espionage to find out who got away with it, and who paid the ultimate price.
