"Young set about recruiting the most unlikely of spies—academics, classicists, epigraphers, and other specialists and scholars—who would come to be known as “the Greek Desk.” These men and women, along with their Greek allies, went undercover and tried desperately to protect some of the world’s most significant treasures. The archaeologists hid priceless artifacts in ancient caves, bank vaults, and even underneath the city of Athens itself." AMAZON
Stephan Talty’s compact, lively "The American School of Spies" tells the story of two sets of agents sent to Greece by the Allies, with distinct missions. One was to harass and kill Nazis by blowing up trains, calling down airstrikes and ferreting out military secrets. The second was to safeguard Greece’s trove of archaeological treasures..." – New York Times review June 2026
