Real Spies. Real Stories.

Meet spies and saboteurs, scientists and inventors. Explore the varied way they have collected intelligence. The people here come from different walks of life, but they share one thing in common: they each have a spy story to tell. Most of them took advantage of an opportunity to defy expectations and stereotypes, using their gender, race, fame, or just plain everydayness to serve their country– or betray it. Discover the stories behind these faces. You may never look at anyone the same way again.
