A vastly entertaining and unique history of the interaction between
spying and showbiz, from the Elizabethan age to the Cold War and
beyond. 'A treasure trove of human ingenuity' The Times Written by
two experts in their fields, Stars and Spies is the first history
of the extraordinary connections between the intelligence services
and show business. We travel back to the golden age of theatre and
intelligence in the reign of Elizabeth I. We meet the writers,
actors and entertainers drawn into espionage in the Restoration,
the Ancien Régime and Civil War America. And we witness the entry
of spying into mainstream popular culture throughout the twentieth
century and beyond - from the adventures of James Bond to the
thrillers of John le Carré and long-running TV series such as The
Americans. 'Thoroughly entertaining' Spectator 'Perfect...read as
you settle into James Bond on Christmas afternoon.' Daily Telegraph
