Book overview

Tales of daring covert operations and antiterrorism plots are not just the stuff of movies. Real spies are at work around the world every day. Designed for readers age 12 and up, this nonfiction series investigates the espionage agencies of six countries, tracking their history of intelligence gathering and spotlighting famous secret missions. Pop culture spies are contrasted with real-life agents. Exposing secrets is a spy's job, and the agents of Iran's VAJA (also called MOIS) are some of the world's best. Cloaked in secrecy, the VAJA gathers foreign and domestic intelligence and performs covert special operations for the purpose of national security. This in-depth title for readers age 12 and up surveys the civilian espionage agency's history from the Islamic Revolution aftermath to today. It covers necessary training, skills, and key missions. It also examines the Department 15 assassins and compares pop culture spies with their real-life counterparts. Includes a glossary, sidebars, index, and further resources.
