Review
"The previous novels of the author were good. This one is great. It will challenge your historical imagination to its psycho-logical depth in its audacious and intriguing plot. Suppose a high-ranking Soviet defector is deposited by a German U-boat on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay, to join a treacherous American traitor in April of 1945, in an assassination of F. D. R. who died of a 'massive cerebral hemorrage' on April 12, 1945, as reported by the news media, without regaining consciousness. The Third Reich hoped that President Tru-man, fearing a Russian military victory would result in a world dominated by communism, would join the Germans with the Allies to prevent this unthinkable result."
