Linda McCarthy's Biography
|
For Virginia Educators:
"Ms. McCarthy's [VIP Leadership] presentation was so lively and interesting that we talked about it for the duration of our three-day conference. We were particularly impressed with her ability to move seamlessly from fascinating tales of historical espionage to human resources topics that are relevant in today's world....You've set a standard that will be hard to match at our future conferences."
Men and women who shaped America and history while serving in the shadows.

So respected and feared by the Germans that they tried repeatedly to capture the spy with the wooden leg.

Welcome to

History is a Hoot
Face it—there’s a little “spy” in all of us.

With fascinating accounts from the always intriguing--if somewhat misunderstood-- world of spying, we introduce your audiences to men and women who shaped America and history while serving in the shadows. Even those who don’t usually find the study of history interesting find our “espionolgy” programs quite fresh and even timely.

Over the past two decades, we’ve obtained a number of rare period photographs and actual spy gadgets, which have been melded into unique presentations focusing on a variety of espionage-related topics. No one has ever called our take on history dull, and we are both proud and delighted by that fact.

We hope you’ll spend a few minutes and click a few links. We’re sure you’ll find a program that will educate, entertain, and inspire.
Linda McCarthy,
