4.0 out of 5 stars Clever and Thoughtful, September 4, 2006

This review is from: Family Trade (Paperback)

I just picked this pook up for 25 cents at a local used book stores late night shelf. I was very plesantly surprised in reading the book. It was not only clever, but brought up some things about the cold war and our relationship to Russia that I had not thought about before. It was a pretty easy read and exciting the whole way through. Its an older book probably written the year that I was born (of course thats relative), but still it was a nice read.
