　　Queen Elizabeth I and England’s First Spymaster

Sir Francis Walsingham’s official title was principal secretary

to Queen Elizabeth I, but in fact this pious, tight-lipped Puritan

was England’s first spymaster. A ruthless, fiercely loyal civil

servant, Walsingham worked brilliantly behind the scenes to foil

Elizabeth’s rival Mary Queen of Scots and outwit Catholic Spain and

France, which had arrayed their forces behind her. Though he cut an

incongruous figure in Elizabeth’s worldly court, Walsingham managed

to win the trust of key players like William Cecil and the Earl of

Leicester before launching his own secret campaign against the

queen’s enemies. Covert operations were Walsingham’s genius; he

pioneered techniques for exploiting double agents, spreading

disinformation, and deciphering codes with the latest code-breaking

science that remain staples of international espionage.

　　Fascinating and superbly written. Walsingham was the CIA’s

‘Wild Bill’ Donovan and George Smiley rolled into one. --
