School Library Journal - 11/01/2012 Gr 8 Up—Focused more on the histories of spying organizations, each title looks at a different agency, making references to popular culture (e.g., the work of the CIA is compared to the "Bourne" trilogy) and showing the difference between reality and movies. While not adding career how-to's, the volumes showcase famous spies from history, going back to the origins of each agency, as well as "Tools of the Trade" and major cases. The design mimics files folders, and large archival and color photographs correspond well to the texts. Sidebars deliver additional information and extensive indexes make the titles easy to use for quick facts. Strong beginning-to-end reads. - Copyright 2012 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
