- Summary
- "Ranging in history from an assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth I to the creation of the Nazi Final Solution and to the Presidential Daily Brief from August 2001 that warned Osama Bin Laden was planning an attack on the U.S., the documents in Declassified offer an intriguing glimpse into the world of espionage and covert operations over hundreds of years. Developed in conjunction with the International Spy Museum and written by Thomas B. Allen, veteran author of spy literature, Declassified is a history of clandestine warfare most of us could never have imagined."--BOOK JACKET.
