Edwards II reveals the psychological profiles, recruitment strategies, and near-fatal missions that transformed beloved celebrities into lethal operatives.These weren't actors playing spies-they were spies whose greatest performance was convincing the world they were just entertainers.For the first time, discover the true stories behind the most successful double lives ever lived.
