    The Covert World of Espionage    

Introduction

First published (U.K.) in May 2001 by Mark Birdsall, Eye Spy Magazine is the world's only newsstand publication dedicated to espionage and intelligence.  Described as the bridge between 'officialdom' and the public, Eye Spy is extremely popular with those who work in intelligence, security, defense and specialist wings of the armed forces.  It is subscribed to by hundreds of official intelligence agencies, government training academies, military forces and security colleges throughout the world.

The magazine claimed to obtain its information from intelligence group sources worldwide.  Eye Spy featured articles which discuss and analyze 'James Bond' style spy technology on a perfectly serious level.  There were also often glowing endorsements of training courses or instructional material marketed by companies linked to some of the magazine's regular contributors.  The magazine reported that it was required reading for actual intelligence industry professionals.

However, its non-political - visual editorial and easy-reading style 'demystifies' the intelligence subject, making it equally as popular with people from all walks of life - including the media.  It is a constant provider of a certain type and quantity of information that is not found in any other publication.  Readers are assured they will always find something of interest within its 84 full-color pages; whether it's the inside story of a lengthy government surveillance operation, an interview with a CIA polygraph examiner, MI6's role behind the assassination of Rasputin, or the tradecraft used by those who ply their trade in the world's second oldest profession, Eye Spy has become somewhat of a "must have" publication.  The title can be found in Barnes & Noble, W. H. Smith, Borders and all good newsagents or subscribed to via Eye Spy.
