Summary
This espionage thriller brings to life the incredible true story of Moe Berg, the professional baseball player who became a World War II spy. The enigmatic Berg was already a man of mystery when, in 1944, the U.S. government's wartime intelligence agency recruited him to serve his country. The mission: go behind the enemy lines in Europe to assassinate the Nazi's chief nuclear scientist before the Germans could develop an atomic bomb. Berg must rely on his formidable, steel-trap intellect in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse--with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.
