Declassified!

Spy Stories We Know About
Jaw-dropping spy stories for kids from across history, written by Amanda Ohkle from the International Spy Museum, in Washington, D.C.

CONFIDENTIAL: a dossier of some of the world’s most outrageous real spy stories, perfect for young fans of James Bond and Mission Impossible.

In Declassified! we can neither confirm nor deny that children will be thrilled by some of the wildest moments in espionage history, including:

The Russian mole working inside the FBI who was finally caught with the help of a 25-year-old posing undercover as his assistant.
The time a Bulgarian dissident was killed by an umbrella-wielding spy on a bridge in London.
Operation Acoustic Kitty, when the CIA implanted microphones into cats' ears to use them as listening devices (an operation abandoned because of a complete failure to get the cats to do as they were told)

Along the way, author Amanda Ohkle from the International Spy Museum weaves in explanations of key moments in history, from the American Revolution to the Cold War. Meanwhile stunning illustrations by Sam Caldwell will transport readers back to the dark alleys of Renaissance Europe, clandestine World War II hideouts, and secret KGB headquarters.

Please burn after reading – but don’t actually, this book deserves re-reading!
