Omschrijving
Agent Zigzag meets The Book of Heroic Failures and The GCHQ Quiz Book.
There's a lot of idiocy in these pages to admire, and all of it's given the gloss of Houghton's natural wit.
A collection of tales sure to entertain as well as inform
Hilariously skewers some of the military and intelligence community's weirdest, wackiest, and most outlandish plots, plans, and covert operations
Vince Houghton is a fresh new voice that will have you laughing out loud at some of the serious yet hysterical false starts in the history of the intelligence community.
These are amazing tales, and readers may ... be left pondering whether the book will be shelved among works of history or science fiction novels.
Compulsively readable laugh out loud history
Alternately terrifying and hilarious...if 'military intelligence' makes you think of James Bond and ingenious exploding gadgets...get ready for the true story
Makes you wonder what schemes the secret service are conducting right now.
Fascinating ... Houghton's history of drastic espionage failures is amusing, surprising and, at times, almost beyond belief
Dr. Vincent Houghton is the Historian and Curator of the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC. He is also the host and creative director of the Museum's podcast, SpyCast, which reaches a national and international audience of over 3.5 million listeners each year. He is a veteran of the US army and served in the Balkans before receiving his Masters and PhD in Diplomatic and Military History from the University of Maryland. He has appeared on CNN, NBC News, Fox News, NPR and other major outlets as an expert in intelligence history.
