Spies, Code Breakers, and Secret Agents

This is a wonderful book that, while primarily for kids, can be enjoyed by adults as well. Written in a clear, concise voice, it begins, as does the war, in September 1939. It describes the countries and forces involved, discusses how the war evolved, defines the role spies played, and reveals the identities of some of the most famous spies, double agents, and code breakers of World War II. This book would make the perfect gift for children--and some adults, as well. It taught me a lot about the people who played important roles in the Allies' battle to win World War II. You will not be disappointed. --Theodore Jerome Cohen, mystery, thriller, and fiction writer At a time when World War II is becoming a distant memory, this terrific book by Carole Roman will introduce a new generation of readers to an important and fascinating aspect of that global conflict. Who can resist a book that illuminates the 'secret war' of spies and secret agents? Certainly, not me! And I bet that younger readers all over the world will agree. This is a perfect gift for holiday and birthday gift giving! --Brian J. Morra, former intelligence officer and aerospace executive Carole P. Roman hits a home run with this encyclopedic expose of World War II spy craft. She explores history and entices young minds with real-life heroes. --Barbara Ann Mojica, author of the Little Miss HISTORY book series
