Description:
"Its efficient prewar espionage system depleted by Stalinist purges, the Soviet Union undertook a desperate, crash training program to replace executed agents as Hitler's Reich goose-stepped relentlessly toward war. Under the brilliant leadership of a professional revolutionary, Leopold Trepper (The Grand Chef), a group of ill-prepared recruits was molded into an extensive and chillingly effective spy network." -- Taken from book jacket flap.
