by Tom Gilligan (Author), Everett Walker (Illustrator)
Junior spy David Hale's three adventures in post-WWII Vienna are now collected in this one handsome volume. In the late 1940s, the city of Vienna was a microcosm of everything that was going on with the onset of the Cold War, including the persistence of the Nazi regime, and the rise of communism in the Soviet states. Readers learn, along with the young hero, how espionage really works and how some of the political forces that are at work in the world today started out. Presented with a unique and fun approach to learning some new vocabulary words.
Tom Gilligan spent over 27 years in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). His memoir CIA Life: 10,000 Days with the Agency was published in 2003. He has seen how history repeats itself . . . will you?
