"Classical Spies will be a lasting contribution to the discipline and will stimulate further research. Susan Heuck Allen presents to a widereadership a topic of interest that is important and has been neglected." -William M. Calder III, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Classical Spies is the first insiders' account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World WarII Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, the network drew onscholars' personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain. While modern readers might thinkIndiana Jones is just a fantasy character, Classical Spies discloses events where even Indy would feel at home:burying Athenian dig records in an Egyptian tomb, activating prep-school connections to establish spies code-named Vulture and Chickadee, andorganizing parachute drops.Susan Heuck Allen reveals remarkable details about a remarkable group of individuals. Often mistaken for mild-mannered professors and scholars, such archaeologists as Princeton's RodneyYoung, Cincinnati's Jack Caskey andCarl Blegen, Yale's Jerry Sperlingand Dorothy Cox, and Bryn Mawr's Virginia Grace proved their mettle aseffective spies in an intriguing game of cat and mouse with their Nazicounterparts. Relying on interviews with individuals sharing their stories for the first time, previously unpublished secret documents, private diaries and letters, and personal photographs, Classical Spies offers an excitingand personal perspective on the history of World War II"--
