Espionage

When the stakes have never been higher, these daring agents of espionage risked it all in the name of their countries…

Since the beginning of recorded history, there have been spies. From the ancient Greeks and Romans to the fictional British Secret Service agent, James Bond, the art of espionage is one that is constantly changing and adapting as the world evolves.

World War 2 marked a step into a new world of spycraft with the advent of technologies like nothing the world had ever seen. Suddenly cryptography, intelligence gathering, and cover stories were more complicated than ever before. From fearless double agents to courageous freedom fighters, these men and women left behind the safety of their homes in order to dedicate their lives to their causes.

Uncover the rich inner lives of these brave individuals as you learn about the cases and conspiracies that only now are beginning to come to light. For decades these stories have been hidden in obscurity, and it is finally time to show them the historical acknowledgment they deserve.
