DESCRIPTION

Sex, Betrayal and Weaponized Love

The first book to explore in detail how intelligence agencies the world over have used sex as a way to acquire sensitive information


While the so-called ‘honey trap’ is a Hollywood cliché, it is also an enduring piece of tradecraft in the real-life world of spy versus spy. Employed by virtually every intelligence service in times of war and peace, the work of femme fatales and Romeo spies have shaped policy and history through seduction, betrayal and scandal. Perhaps the most well known though least understood element of espionage, the use of honey traps can be found throughout history in religious texts, lurid headlines and pop culture mythology.

Honey Trapped is the first book to fully examine the oldest and most consistently effective piece of tradecraft, from the ancient world to cyber seductions. Henry R. Schlesinger tells the stories of those spies, both famous and obscure, who used sex and leveraged love to acquire sensitive information. From Greek mythology to recent investigations, the potent mix of sex and espionage is sure to enthral and entertain.
