5.0 out of 5 stars The mother of all true spy stories, May 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The red orchestra (Loose Leaf)

The story of a Polish Jew who ran a network of Soviet radio spies in occupied Europe, was arrested by the Gestapo in Paris, gained their trust, and ultimately escaped. The greatest true-life spy story I have ever read -- would have been made into a movie long ago if Trepper had been working for the U.S.

This review is from: The Red Orchestra (Witnesses to War) (Paperback)

This ia a very comprehensive tale of the USSR's spy networks operating against Nazi Germany in WW-II. To me the first half was a bit of a slog; but the second half is very good.

ROTEKAPELLE'S INTELLIGENCE COUPS HAVE WON IT A (GRUDGING) PLACE IN THE MILITARY HISTORIES. THIS BOOK IS THE BEST TAKE ON THE ORGANIZATION. IT SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR ALL ANTI-TERRORISM WARRIORS.
