Declassified: 50 Top-Secret Documents That Changed History

The author presents 50 documents from around the world that are no longer secret or classified information. He provides a photo of the actual document, some historical background, and its impact on history. These documents span time from Queen Elizabeth I (secret information on the Spanish Armada, and a plot to assassinate the Queen, 1586) through to President Bush's PDB--President's Daily Brief--given to him in August 2001 that outlined Bin Laden's determination to attack the U.S. I found this book fascinating; any one who has ever daydreamed about being a spy would love this!
