The Secret Agent's Bedside Reader

A Compendium of Spy Writing

Ed. Michael Smith

Demonstrating that truth can be stranger than fiction, these accounts of their work by intelligence officers are accompanied by extracts from espionage novels, such as John Buchan’s Greenmantle. The selection spans the twentieth century and includes Robert Baden-Powell’s description of spying on Turkish fortifications ahead of the First World War, escapes from Colditz and Stella Rimington’s recollection of her time at MI5 during the Cold War.
