Requests:  0 Summary:  Maxwell Knight was perhaps the greatest spymaster in history, rumored to be the real-life inspiration for the James Bond character "M." He did more than anyone in his era to combat the rising threat of fascism in Britain during World War II, in spite of his own history inside this movement. He was also truly eccentric--a thrice-married jazz aficionado who kept a menagerie of exotic pets--and almost totally unqualified for espionage. Yet he had a gift for turning practically anyone into a fearless secret agent. Knight's work revolutionized British intelligence, pioneering the use of female agents, among other accomplishments. Drawing on original sources, Agent M reveals not only the story of one of the world's greatest intelligence operators, but the sacrifices and courage required to confront fascism during a nation's darkest time.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Biography B Knight He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 327.1241 Knight He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 327.1241 Knight He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Knight He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 327.1241 Knight He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Knight He Checked In Add Copy to MyList
