Intriguing history of real-life female undercover agents

Everyone loves a good spy adventure story; but such are usually couched in novel form: well, consider this: Ryan Ann Hunter's In Disguise! is nonfiction, providing real-life historical accounts of women spies. While In Disguise! is intended for a somewhat younger audience and thus includes spy codes and spy-related activities and trivia, many an adult won't want to miss the intriguing history of real-life female undercover agents.

A reawakened sense of adventure

Thank you for the opportunity to read about courage in action and to appreciate the often silent service of so many brave women in the defense of freedom. A must read for all ages, particularly young women interested in selfless service. This work chronicles the unvarnished truth of a fasinating and dangerous occupation with both historical context and personal experience.
