The Spying Game: An Australian Angle by Bruce Bennett

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor edgewear. Piece of sticky tape on inside cover.

While British, American and Soviet empires have produced plentiful supplies of heroes, villains and stirring tales, Australians have typically averted their gaze from this country's involvement in the 'second oldest profession'. And yet espionage has been a part of Australia's history since the earliest European imaginings of a southern landmass.

Australian spies have produced their share of heroes and villains and this book shows how they influenced Australia's diplomatic and military policy, and the personal price some of them paid. (publisher blurb)
