Exposing secrets is a spy's job, and the agents of Iran's VAJA (also called MOIS) are some of the world's best. Cloaked in secrecy, the VAJA gathers foreign and domestic intelligence and performs covert special operations for the purpose of national security. This in-depth title for readers age 12 and up surveys the civilian espionage agency's history from the Islamic Revolution aftermath to today. It covers necessary training, skills, and key missions. It also examines the Department 15 assassins and compares pop culture spies with their real-life counterparts. Includes a glossary, sidebars, index, and further resources.
