February 10, 1962. Who were the three men that the American and Soviet superpowers exchanged at Glienicke Bridge and Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin? Bridge of Spies provides the full backstory to this first and most legendary prisoner exchange between East and West, illuminating the Cold War through the paths of William Fisher, alias Rudolf Abel, a British-born KGB agent arrested by the FBI in New York City; Gary Powers, the American U-2 pilot whose plane was shot down over central Russia; and Frederic Pryor, a young American student in Berlin, misidentified as a spy and held without charge by East Germany's secret police.
"Riveting, meticulously researched and beautifully written, Bridge of Spies unlocks one of the most fascinating espionage mysteries of the Cold War."—Ben Macintyre
