Good, straightforward telling of the famous Cold War spy exchange and the unlikely events that led up to it. It's funny reading this kind of thing after a lot of WWII spying stories--in that era there's so often something clearly at stake. In this time period the "Master Soviet Spy" is basically just hanging out in Brooklyn and painting. Still, it's great hearing about all the people involved, since everyone seems to be putting on fronts upon fronts.
With the movie coming out I did find myself wondering how to turn it into a movie and it wouldn't be easy. Seems like it might be better to just do a play or something with the lawyers interacting with the family, because it's really a lot of crazy backstory that happens to lead up to one highly charged walk over a bridge.

A quick but enjoyable yarn about the genesis of the U-2 spy plane program, Gary Powers, and the spy exchange that brought him home. Highly recommend.
