520    Prisoners, Lovers, and Spies is a book about concealing 
       and revealing secret communications. It is the first 
       history of invisible writing, uncovered through stories 
       about scoundrels and heroes. Spies were imprisoned or 
       murdered, adultery unmasked, and battles lost because of 
       faulty or intercepted secret communications. Yet, 
       successfully hidden writing helped save lives, win battles,
       and ensure privacy; occasionally it even changed the 
       course of history. Kristie Macrakis combines a 
       storyteller’s sense of drama with a historian’s respect 
       for evidence in this page-turning history of intrigue and 
       espionage, love and war, magic and secrecy. From the 
       piazzas of ancient Rome to the spy capitals of the Cold 
       War, Macrakis's global history reveals the drama and 
       importance of invisible ink. From Ovid’s advice to use 
       milk for illicit love notes, to John Gerard's dramatic 
       escape from the tower of London aided by orange juice ink 
       messages, to al-Qaeda’s hidden instructions in 
       pornographic movies, this book presents spellbinding 
       stories of secret messaging that chart its evolution in 
       sophistication and its impact on history. An appendix 
       includes fun kitchen chemistry recipes for readers to try 
       out at home.
