ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

SpyCatcher

Okay kiddo, Spycatcher was a book written by a man named Peter Wright. He was a spy for the British government and he wrote the book about his experiences.

The book caused a lot of controversy because it talked about secret government spy stuff that people weren't supposed to know about. The government even tried to stop the book from being published because they didn't want anyone else to know their secrets.

People were really interested in the book because it had a lot of juicy details about spying and secrets. It was like a big spy story, but it was real life!

So, the book was pretty scandalous and it caused a lot of trouble for the government. But, it also made people more aware of the shady things that go on in the world of spying and secret intelligence agencies.
