The declassification of documents and greater political transparency over recent decades however has

On April 5, 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were sentenced to death for conspiring to commit espionage for the Soviet Union (“on this day”, p.1). Their execution was not meant to happen, it was used as a threat to encourage the Rosenberg’s to confess to their crimes. Julius and Ethel stuck to their story throughout the trial, they remained true to their communist beliefs, but they never confessed to being spies. The Rosenberg’s were executed in June 1953, but there was little evidence supporting

The most fascinating subject to learn about in History is spies. With the ideas of secret ink and leaving important documents at Dead Drops would be someone’s dream to live. That does not mean that every story of a spy ended up that way. Several spies during the Revolutionary war were hanged if caught. Though, one major traitor in the United States did not get hanged. He escaped to England. The life of spies is quite different then what people imagine. Even the founding fathers of the United States

John Anthony Walker was born in Washington, D.C. on 28 July 1937. As a child, John Walker experienced a disturbing childhood.

The Importance of Cold War Era Spies Spies were part of the cold war because of many reasons. They used spies on the side to discover what a side was doing and to also give false knowledge of the other side they are against. Many people never really figured who was a spy and who wasn’t during this rough era of distraught. This specific job was very dangerous because if you were caught you were most likely not to be rescued by anyone. If you were sent to prison or you were executed, it was mostly

Credit here must be given to Kipling for doing a fantastic job at transliterating different accents and dialects. That's usually difficult for an author to pull off convincingly, but here it is flawlessly done. Particularly effective is when Kim and other characters switch from translated Hindi, fluent and full of thees and thous, to transliterated English that comes out like "Oah, I am verr-ee sorr-ee, Sahib," and can't help but be read with the author's intended diction and cadence.
