Book Description
As the Berlin Wall comes down, Walter Mallor celebrates by killing himself. A world-renowned Russian history professor at Georgetown University, he's the architect of the most secret and daring program the National Security Agency has ever launched a program that, if discovered, could cause World War III.His daughter Sarah, an investigative reporter for the Washington Post, is determined to find out why her father killed himself. As she chases clues around the globe, Sarah learns that her father was embroiled in a conspiracy to topple America's most dangerous adversary--the Soviet Union. From the Oval Office to the Kremlin, across the Caribbean Sea and Vietnamese jungles, and through the hot Middle Eastern desert sands and snowy mountains of Afghanistan, Sarah uncovers the real history of the Cold War--a history vastly different from the one she had learned on the nightly news, filled with bloody mistakes, sleazy tactics, backroom deals, pompous morons, and broken hearts.
