Historian H. Keith Melton secrets never before consumed by the public, plus a dynamic audio visual presentation that compares movie character spy craft to that used by today’s spies. “When it comes to spy craft and knowledge of worldwide intelligence, there is no one better than Keith Melton,” said Milton Maltz, Chairman of the Board of The Maltz Jupiter Theatre and founder of The International Spy Museum in Washington, DC.”
He lectures at The CIA and has played an important role in the development of The International Spy Museum. His commentary is fascinating and we are proud to bring him to our community. It will be a memorable evening. Melton is recognized internationally as an authority on spy technology and has assembled a collection of over 8,000 spy devices.
