Spy Technology : By Sage & Hutton
Introduction
Spying has been around since the dawn of time. About 1,500 years ago, spies from Europe stole the secret of silk from China. A spy's tools they use to gather intelligence are called sneakies. Sneakies can be anything from hidden spy bugs to spy glasses. The Cold War era was called the Golden Age of Spying, because it was the most unusual and sophisticated spying age so far. The three agencies that spied a lot on each other during that time were MI6, CIA, KGB. (Most info from Ron Fridell p 4-7)
