Not anything groundbreaking, but GREAT FOR KIDS!
While Mr. Gaffney's book doesn't cover anything new in the area of reconnaissance satellites, its format and coverage are excellent for the audience - mainly geared towards elementary and middle school children.

Secret Spy Satellites by Gaffney - Poor choice
This book offers little new. Its a rehash of other books published over the past several years. The photo quality is good, but again, I saw nothing I had not seen in other books. Don't waste your money! I expected much more than a 36 page book.

While Mr. Gaffney's book doesn't cover anything new in the area of reconnaissance satellites, its format and coverage are excellent for the audience - mainly geared towards elementary and middle school children. While the area of space policy and national defense don't cross the desks of most children, "Secret Spy Satellites" gives kids a peek into a very secret area of government - taking pictures from space. It might not whet the appetite for Ph.D's or parents, but its enough to get kids to say "Wow! I can't believe we can do that!"... and that sometimes is the only impetus needed for these future NRO employees to say "That stuff is cool - I want to do that when I grow up.
For parents, teenagers and future rocket scientists, there are many other texts that have the juicy, meaty details of these satellite launches and operations.
