The novel starts with the Soviet suppression of the 1956 Hungarian uprising. You will discover one way that the Soviets publicly punished Hungarian resisters. Unlike some spy novels (and the fevered imaginings of certain American "intellectuals"), there is no moral equivalency in Buckley's stories - the Soviets are the bad guys - just like real life.

This was perhaps one of Buckley's better spy novels. The characters seemed to come alive a bit more for me. The moral dilemma faced by Oakes is one that causes a lot of reflection in the reader. A good novel, but not so good that I feel bad to be finished with it.

This book started off a little slow, but once it got going it was hard to put down. Buckley is a very good storyteller.
