The top 10 classic spy novels So my selection of novels reflects the interests of a historian, and draws on both domestic and foreign espionage. They are classics in being of some antiquity, and because, in addition to being of literary merit, they tell us something of their era. 1. The Spy; or, A Tale of the Neutral Ground by James Fenimore Cooper (1821) A factually-based account of the exploits of Harvey Birch, a secret agent in the American War of Independence.
