Storyline

Spy vs. spy. Three Yale grads, class of 1954, join their respective countries' secret service. We follow them for 40 years - through the outing of a British spy, the Hungarian revolution, the Bay of Pigs, the scent of moles, and the collapse of the USSR. Fictional characters - Yalies Jack McCauliffe, Leo Kritzky, and Yevgeny Tsipin and Jack's boss Harvey Torriti - rub shoulders with real figures like Kim Philby and James Angleton to tell stories of romance, intrigue, double-crosses, false leads, suicide, execution, and exile - in the name of ideology, patriotism, paranoia, perfidy, and one-upsmanship. Can the CIA claim any credit in the West's Cold War triumph? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Goofs

Anachronisms: After the boat race, in 1950, a character drinks a beer from a metal can. Again, in the 50's, it should have been a glass bottle. Still in 1954, square section plastic garbage containers in the entry of an east-Berlin building. During that period, at best (when there was a garbage container at all), it was a fluted metal can but most of of the time, garbage was collected in a cutout oil gallon. The plastic cans appeared in that area only after 1989. See more »
