Stars and Spies
Autor Christopher Andrew, Julius Greenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 oct 2022
'A treasure trove of human ingenuity' The Times
Written by two experts in their fields, Stars and Spies is the first history of the extraordinary connections between the intelligence services and show business.
We travel back to the golden age of theatre and intelligence in the reign of Elizabeth I. We meet the writers, actors and entertainers drawn into espionage in the Restoration, the Ancien Régime and Civil War America. And we witness the entry of spying into mainstream popular culture throughout the twentieth century and beyond - from the adventures of James Bond to the thrillers of John le Carré and long-running TV series such as The Americans.
'Thoroughly entertaining' Spectator
