About
Dr. Wesley Britton







Historical spies and literary secret agents have much in common. In the files below are insights into just how fact meets fiction – and when it doesn't. Below are resources for those interested in the Mossad, what really happened during the McCarthy era, and how terrorism has been viewed in history and onscreen. Here are interviews with authors, reviews of classic books, and suggestions for further reading.
