Summary:
"Ranging in history from an assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth I to the creation of the Nazi Final Solution and to the Presidential Daily Brief from August 2001 that warned that Osama Bin Laden was planning an attack on the U.S., the documents in Declassified offer an intriguing glimpse into the world of espionage and covert operations over hundreds of years."--Book jacket.
