Summary "Spies and Secret Service" by Hamil Grant is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the complex and often murky world of espionage, exploring its evolution from ancient practices to modern systems, while highlighting notable spies and significant espionage events throughout history. At the start of the work, the author introduces the ethos of the spy, discussing the moral ambiguities surrounding espionage and its pragmatic justification in service to national interests. Grant presents the spy as a necessary figure in both warfare and politics, tracing the practice's roots from prehistoric times through various historical contexts, including biblical references and ancient military operations. The opening sets the tone for a detailed exploration of espionage as a profession, emphasizing its psychological and social implications while preparing the reader for deeper insights into specific spies and their exploits in subsequent chapters.
