What is Stars and Spies : Intelligence Operations and the Entertainment Business about?

A Hugely Entertaining And Original History Of The Interplay Between Spying And Showbiz, Featuring Marlowe And Shakespeare, But Focusing Mostly On The Twentieth Century, The Golden Era Of The Cold War And Up To The Present Day. Throughout History, The Crossover Between Thespians And Secret Agents Has Waxed And Waned, Often Producing Some Of The Most Extraordinary Undercover Agents, And At Others Leading To Disastrous And Dangerous Failures. The Fact That One Relies On Publicity And The Other On Secrecy Might At First Appear To Dictate Against A Successful Symbiosis; However, As Both Involve Advanced Abilities In Creative Thinking, Improvisation, Disguise And Role-play, They Inevitably Attract Some Remarkably Similar Personalities. In This Unique History Of The Interplay Between The Two Worlds, We Travel Back To Elizabethan England And The Works Of Playwright-come-spy Christopher Marlowe And To The Restoration Era To Encounter The First Female Playwright And First Female Spy Aphra Behn. We Visit Civil War America And Turn Of The Century Paris To Reveal A Whole Undercurrent Of Female Spy Roles As Seducers And As Efficient And Vital Agents, As Well As Inventing A String Of Exotic Myths
