Some spy stories are great works of literature that shouldn’t be passed over — even by readers not usually drawn to the genre.
I love reading spy novels of all kinds, but the ones I recommend here are truly exemplary. Not only are the authors superb English stylists, but each had worked in intelligence and/or wartime propaganda. Their stories are informed by firsthand experience from the WWI, WWII, and the Cold War.
My book recommendations are always based only on books I’ve actually read. There may be other great spy novels out there I haven’t read or haven’t even heard of. I’m confident in recommending these. Each one is well worth reading, even if you’ve never read any spy novel in your life. . . .
