Against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions - including the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the current War on Terror - the authors show how the CIA carries out its missions employing amazingly inventive tools. Illustrated with images never before seen by the public - and featuring everything from micro cameras to wired kitties to exploding pancakes - Spycraft is both a fantastic encyclopedia of gadgetry and a revealing primer on the fundamentals of high-tech espionage.
