Looking at secret agents on television in the 1950s and 1960s, Michael
Kackman explores how Americans see themselves in times of political and
cultural crisis. From parodies such as The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and Get Smart
to the more complicated situations of I Spy and Mission: Impossible, Kackman
situates espionage television within the culture of the civil rights and
women's movements and the war in Vietnam.
łA stunning study of the confluence of the world of real spies and reel (as
in TV) spies.˛ ‹Robert Vaughn, Napoleon Solo, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
łThe first comprehensive and critical assessment of prime-time secret agents
during the height of the Cold War.˛ ‹Michael Curtin
