الوصف

The dramatic events behind the Oscarwinning film Bridge of Spies tracing the paths leading to the first and most legendary prisoner exchange between East and West at Berlins Glienicke Bridge and Checkpoint Charlie on February 10 1962. Bridge of Spies is the true story of three extraordinary characters whose fate helped to define the conflicts and lethal undercurrents of the most dangerous years of the Cold War William Fisher alias Rudolf Abel a British born KGB agent arrested by the FBI in New York City and jailed as a Soviet superspy for trying to steal Americas most precious nuclear secrets Gary Powers the American U2 pilot who was captured when his plane was shot down while flying a reconnaissance mission over the closed cities of central Russia and Frederic Pryor a young American graduate student in Berlin mistakenly identified as a spy arrested and held without charge by the Stasi East Germanys secret police.

Drawing on new interviews conducted in the United States Europe and Russia with key players in the exchange and the events leading to it among them Frederic Pryor himself and the man who shot down Gary Powers Bridge of Spies captures a time when the fate of the world really did depend on coded messages on microdots and brave young men in pressure suits. The exchange that frigid day at two of the most sensitive points along the Iron Curtain repre
