About this title

Review:

William Safire uses the same sly wit and insider knowledge that make his New York Times journalism so lively in this jolly, mordant romp about a Soviet agent who has become a Bill Gates-like American billionaire using KGB money. When reporter Irving Fein gets a tip about this mole's plan to surface, it could either be the biggest story of his career or the reason to run the obituary that he's no doubt already written.

About the Author:

William Safire began his writing career as a reporter, became a speechwriter in the Nixon White House, and re-crossed the street to write an Op-Ed column in the New York Times for the next three decades. He also wrote the weekly “On Language” column in the New York Times Magazine. He was a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for commentary and the Medal of Freedom.
