Recensioner i media

An astonishing piece of work which will form a cornerstone of any spy fan's library from now on. Spies on Screen is utterly comprehensive, but it is more than that. Burke has provided a judicious overview of each era of espionage on film and television and selected the keystones of the genre with intelligence and care. Along with his upcoming Encyclopedia of Spy Fiction it will prove to be utterly indispensable to anyone who has an interest in this great genre, which reflects the headlines of the day and delves deeply into the human psyche of loyalty and betrayal. Burke is a master chronicler who understands not just the classics of the genre but the comedies, action thrillers and satires too. It is impossible to imagine that this book will ever be bettered. The only problem is that we need to clone Burke so it can be updated forever
