About this ebook
The Trojan Horse: Espionage, Infiltration, and Deception in the Ancient World expands on the hidden practices that shaped ancient societies. Rather than focusing on a single event, this book presents a range of historical examples—from Jericho to Troy and beyond—to show how spies, informants, and covert agents operated long before modern intelligence systems existed.
Drawing on archaeology and historical analysis, the author, a classical archaeologist, reveals how information was gathered, how cities were breached, and how political actors used deception to gain advantage. The book uncovers the quieter mechanisms beneath ancient power: secret negotiations, disguised operatives, coded communication, and strategic betrayals that altered the course of history.
Ideal for readers interested in ancient history, military strategy, archaeology, and the early origins of espionage.
