Velocity: Classified series.
After briefly setting the historical context, this book features six profiles of spies operating during World War II, including two women. Archival photos and reproductions (mostly black-and-white) accompany the readable chapters, which sometimes end abruptly. The pages are busy with images, text boxes, keyword definitions, and unnecessary graphics, but this is an accessible glimpse at a high-interest topic. Reading list. Glos., ind.
