Suave CIA agent Blackford Oakes returns to attempt to keep the Soviets from dividing Berlin with the infamous Berlin Wall, in a story of international intrigue, political machinations, and espionage set during the height of the Cold War
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
First published in 1984, the book takes place in Berlin in the summer of 1961, just as the Berlin Wall is about to slam shut the last escape route out of Eastern Europe. President Kennedy needs to know what the Soviets are planning and Oakes is sent to acquire the answers. His contact, Henri Tod, is leader of the Bruderschaft, a secret group of German Dissidents. Tod has a plan to change the future of the free world but when he goes missing, Blackford locks horns with Walter Ulbricht, East Germany's unscrupulous communist boss and wins a moral victory for the West. Blackford Oakes novels have always had a very wide appeal, as readers are drawn by the delightful characters and intricate plots. "The Story of Henri Tod" and "A Very Private Plot" have plenty of both.
