Opis

This title tracks the spy thriller from John Buchan to Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and John Le Carre, and shows how these tales of spies, moles, and the secret service tell a history of modern society, translating the political and cultural transformations of the twentieth century into the intrigues of a shadow world of secret agents.
