Summary: BORING, BORING, BORING... VERY TEDIOUS READING...
Review: I had expected this to be an exciting book about spying during the Second World War, and it was about the spies, but not about events, but about the people involved and where they traveled to and the disguises they used in their missions, what colleges they used as fronts, how many books they took with them, etc. - If you are truly interested in the mundane minute documentation about the people this is the book for you; but it's not the book for the general reader. It's too specific and detailed with very little "spy" action. Not reader friendly.
