  Few professions comprise such an eclectic mix of personalities as that of intelligence. The characteristics required to thrive as a spy – ideological conviction, ego, the ability to manipulate, deceive and remain cold – have created some of the most compelling and enduring figures in history.
  In The Intelligent Spy's Handbook, Robin Renwick provides an overview of the biggest names in the world of espionage, with a wonderful eye for the details that bring each of them to life. We hear, for instance, of how Kim Philby, to have fun at the expense of his colleagues, kept a photograph in his office of Mount Ararat – taken from the Soviet side.
  We see how the audacious, far-fetched ideas of the naval officer Ian Fleming, aside from creating the most famous of all spies, may have actually inspired the real-life Operation Mincemeat. And the darker side of some of our more heroic stories is exposed, from the chemical castration of Alan Turing to the personal sacrifices Oleg Gordievsky made to become Britain's most successful Soviet mole.
  Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a first-time reader, this book is the perfect primer on the best-known individuals in the history of intelligence.

  Elizabeth Short The Black Dahlia...

  In January 1947, a woman walking through a quiet Los Angeles neighborhood found a body in a vacant lot. Within days, the newspapers had given the victim a nickname that outlived everything else about her: the Black Dahlia. 
  This biography begins before the name. It follows Elizabeth Short from her birth in Hyde Park, Boston, through a childhood shaped by the Great Depression and a father who vanished. It continues through wartime Florida and California, a lost fiancé, the hopeful and hard months in Hollywood, and her final weeks in San Diego. 
  It then turns to the investigation: the press frenzy, the taunting letters, the false confessions, the suspects, and the reasons the case has never been solved. It also looks at how a real young woman was turned into a legend, and what is lost when that happens. 
  Drawing on the documented record and clearly marking what is uncertain, this book restores the person behind the headlines: a girl who loved the movies, crossed a continent in wartime, and wanted to be somebody.
