You'll find them all in this awesome book." - Creative Kids Magazine "Stephanie Bearce has culled some of the more interesting aspects of wartime secrets and put them together in this small, but very interesting book...Scattered throughout each chapter are sidebars of even more interesting information or facts that will intrigue readers, such as how Ian Fleming came up with the name James Bond for his famous agent 007.
