Double crosses, undercover missions, code breaking, eavesdropping and human torpedoes, called pigs, what more could you want from a book. The book Ultra Hush-Hush by Stephen Shapiro is all about cracking codes, going undercover, spying on the enemy and outwitting the opponent. In the book it tells stories about how particular people cracked the codes, blew up ships, spied on the enemy, worked as double agents, stole information and much more. The stories take place during World War II, when the Axis and the Allies were at war. One of the stories includes a group of British special agents who painted the top of a building to make it look like it was destroyed. Sure enough the opponents fell for it. Another story includes how a single man
For example, Michael, the main character, and his family, are from Ireland, a neutral country in the war, and they are stationed in Berlin, Germany, because his dad is the Irish Ambassador. However, they’re there for another reason to, Michael and his family are secretly spies reporting information about Nazi Activity back to the Allies (22). A second great example of this is when the Allies are trying to get information and pictures of a new Nazi weapon, and Michael’s new friend, Fritz, just happens to show Michael one of the pages of those plans (75-83). A third illustration of this is when Michael gets on the “Science Team” that is actually an assassination team being sent to kill a Dutch Scientist named Hendrik Goldsmit. However, instead of killing him, Michael is actually their to save him, which he does. He then gets Hendrik out of their safely and back to the Allies (250-294). Those are just a few examples from the book showing how amazing of a plot Projekt 1065

Written in 1963, John LeCarre’s spy-fiction novel “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold” is shaped by contextual values that reflect a true delineation of Cold War espionage through the exploration of intelligence work between the political ideologies of Eastern and Western Germany. Le Carré uses his own personal experiences of working in British Intelligence and which explains the deep sense of realism this novel portrays. It has been suspected by many that particular events in the novel were actually real and merely a recount of Le Carré’s time in the intelligence service due to the sheer depth in detail but all accusations were denied due to no substantial evidence. Through the characterisation of Protagonist Alec Leamas, Le Carré constructs a realistic anti-heroic spy that contrasts from Ian Fleming’s glamorised James Bond. Leamas is depicted as a middle-aged alcoholic, a casualty of the Cold War who is on the verge of retirement
The term “Covert Action” brings with it a connotation of shadowy figures wrapped in secrecy and intrigue. It also brings with it a substantial amount of moral questions as to “what is right.” The use of covert action has been widely publicized since the early seventies, but trying to find out the truth to these events has been difficult to say the least. What is even more difficult, is historically recording these events into categories of successes or failures. These operations are difficult to dissect because of their secrecy and although events have been recorded, some facts simply aren’t apparent. This paper will seek to identify the complex issues associated with covert operations.
