The gripping first-hand account of the events that inspired the major film 'Bridge of Spies', starring Tom Hanks, by the man at the centre of them all - James B. Donovan. The capture and trial of Colonel Abel, the Soviet's most capable and effective spy, revealed the chilling depths of the KGB's penetration of the West. But when American U2 spy plane pilot Gary Powers was shot down over Russia, both men's fate hung in the balance. The stakes couldn't have been higher.
