Adventures Online: Espionage and the British Spy

This is an outstanding program. Nigel West has extraordinary and deep knowledge of the subject matter and engaged all of us. Kevin Durjan was an excellent facilitator. The course was riveting.

Kevin Durjun and Giles Ramsay are a delightful team! These virtual trips are lively and engaging. There are a lot of choices for online socials, but Road Scholar is the best - Cheers!

The subject matter for these professional presenters was excellent. Both presenters did a superb job in presenting their topic. The expertise of Nigel West was phenomenal in answering everyone's questions. I totally enjoyed Giles Ramsey and the historical stories of the British rulers during the age of enlightenment during the British conquests. I was in the security industry for 40 years, so it was very enlightening to learn of the British spy network that was in place during the world war era. The information and stories of the Honey Pot Russian spy network were intriguing and It was interesting to learn more about Ian Fleming, I have watched all of the James Bond movies. Nigel West provided a list of the most popular spy story movies that I will now begin to watch many of the movies that he recommended. Kevin Durjun and Sarah Rita represented Road Scholar professionally to keep the presentations running smoothly.

This program gives the Road Scholar an opportunity to learn from the very best!! Nigel West is not only the author of over 25 books on espionage, but he is extremely willing to share his knowledge with names, dates, and stories of when he met many of the spies about whom he writes and talks. Delightful!!

Presenters Giles Ransay and Nigel West were great -- informed and organized and entertaining. Interesting and enjoyable.

If you're interested in espionage and its practitioners, this is the place for you to go.

I feel refreshed and informed, just as if I had taken a REAL trip with Road Scholar. As usual for Road Scholar, the program was well-planned, used very knowlegable instructors, and efficiently run. Thank you for a great experience. I will definitly register for more virtual programs.

Outstanding program. Great format, user friendly and the lectures were fascinating and very informative. Nigel West and Giles Ramsey had me at the edge of my chair. Great escape to the world of espionage.

This program gives great insight into the world and mechanics of British espionage. It is a wonderful opportunity to hear from presenters who are masters of their subject!

Espionage - what an interesting subject and so complex. I knew I didn't know too much before the program and now that I have taken the program - yes I learned a lot more, I have tons more I WANT to learn. So fascinating. The other group participants were great. Questions were great. I would highly recommend this program, but beware it is just the beginning, but it will increase your interest even more.

The Road Scholar "Adventures Online: Espionage and the British Spy" featuring Giles Ramsay and Nigel West was enlghtening, entertaining, and most interesting. The program aptly blended British history and intelligence initiatives with related conditions in Britain and other countries "then and now". The authenticity of the presenters -- and, therefore, their presentations -- was evident both from their credentials and their "digital-presence". The course was a wise investment of both time and money. -- L.B. Durham, Ph.D.

Espionage & the British Spy was a fascinating online course. Our lecturers were extremely knowledgeable and informative. Pre- and post-course material most helpful. Overall, 10 hours of information from the group leader and several presenters was well spent. Joan and Richard Behr Joan & Richard Behr

Road Scholar has done a superb job putting together their on-line programs. Since most of us choose not to physically travel the on-line courses are definitely the next best thing.

Very interesting - many aspects of espionage are covered, including some going back several centuries. I am not a big espionage/spy fan, but found this to be informative and enlightening.

If you are curious about past and present foreign intrigues in the spy world, Nigel West and Giles Ramsey are a fountain of graphic details both historical and current. They are our turn pagers into the Secret Service.

easy website, easy to sign in, very enjoyable presentation in a well designed format. The entire group was a delight and made feel at home !!! The moderator cold not be better and I like his manners

Online learning turned out to be better than I expected. Everyone could see and hear the lecturers, we were encouraged to ask questions, and the experts really were. The lecturers spoke about British spies through the ages right up until today.
