À propos de cet audio

Just who were the three men the Soviet and American superpowers exchanged on Berlin's Glienicke Bridge on February 10, 1962? Bridge of Spies is the true story of those men - Rudolf Abel, a Soviet Spy who was a master of disguise; Gary Powers, an American who was captured when his spy plane was shot down; and Frederic Pryor, a young American doctor mistakenly identified as a spy.

The men in this three-way political swap had been drawn into the nadir of the Cold War by duty and curiosity, and the same tragicomedy of errors that induced Khrushchev to send missiles to Castro. They were rescued against daunting odds by fate and by their families, and then all but forgotten.

This is their story.

This was a VERY interesting account of a real Cold War event, and the events leading up to it. The individual stories of the three men involved in the exchange could not have been more different, yet their freedom depended on one another. One of the most intriguing Cold War accounts I have read. Definitely recommended!

A VERY interesting book!

Gripping portrayal of a real event.
