Spy Seminar Series: Deep Cover Spies; The Dangers of a Double Life

Deep Cover Spies : The Dangers of a Double Life

Wednesdays in February (3-24) at 10:15 AM at the International Spy Museum

What’s it like to be the man on the inside? The trusted colleague who is actually working against his comrades?  Spy novels and films often hinge on the information supplied by mysterious agents who risk their lives to spy from within, but does this really happen?  What does it take to live a double life?  In this series, former undercover agents and an intelligence expert will reveal the danger, complexity, and hardship of living a life that’s not really yours.  They’ll share how courage and conviction can enable ordinary people to hide their true thoughts and feelings in pursuit of a greater good.
