Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"From Benedict Arnold and Lee Harvey Oswald to less notorious figures such as 'Anna Chapman' (born Anna Vasil'yevna Kushchyenko, though the author doesn't challenge less able readers by mentioning that) and John Walker Lindh, this entry in the Shock Zone: Villains series introduces a dozen baddies—all American or at least working in this country. Writing in an informal tone ('Arnold started out as an OK guy'), Landau provides a quick description of each malfeasant's career, capture, and fate, as well as at least superficial analyses of their motives. The breezy prose, illustrations that mix documentary photos with posed shots and movie stills, and a reading list heavy on spy 'manuals' make this better suited to recreational reading rather than research. Which kids may prefer." —Booklist
