Wow. This is the stuff from James Bond movies. There really are guns imbedded in fake cigarette packages - they existed in the late 1950s! This auto-biography is just truly amazing and will keep you on thte edge of your seat. Will he really defect? Will he be caught? What will happen to his wife and son? You'll have to read the book to find out, but it's hard to come by. Inter-library loan in a wonderful thing, as is Abe books dot com.
