Editorial Reviews

Spies by Jay Robert Nash is a thick, self-described "encyclopedia of dirty deeds and double-dealing from Biblical times to today." The author, who has put together similar encyclopedias of organized crime, murderers, and con men, covers the espionage waterfront in this thick trade paperback, with entries ranging from Nathan Hale to Aldrich Ames. Included are a glossary of acronyms and terms, a filmography, and a thick bibliography. I should note that Nash has limited his entries to nonfictional hugger-mugger. It's one of those reference works whose major drawback is that you can enter it looking for a specific name or event and suddenly look up to find that night has fallen.
