Recenzii

"worthy of its place in the history of espionage - I consider it well worth a read". Bulletin of the Military Historical Society

"As Nicholas Hiley demonstrates in his fine introduction to Spies of the Kaiser, MI5 itself owed its inspiration to the fiction of William Le Queux. Here, it appears, we have art imitating life, which is itself imitating art (of a sort)." Times Literary Supplement

"Le Queux"s novel played a significant part in the founding of the modern British intelligence community and thus fully deserves its place in the new Frank Cass series, Classics of Espionage." Christopher Andrew, The Daily Telegraph

"Frank Cass are to be congratulated on reprinting, with its original illustrations, one of Le Queux"s most influential works ... greatly enhanced by a fascinating and expert 24-page, well-referenced introduction. Victorian Military Society
