内容简介:
Who were the three men the American and Soviet superpowers
exchanged at Berlin's Glienicke Bridge and Checkpoint Charlie in
the first and most legendary prisoner exchange between East and
West? Bridge of Spies vividly traces their paths to that exchange
on February 10, 1962, when their fate helped to define the
conflicts and lethal undercurrents of the most dangerous years of
the Cold War.
Bridge of Spies is the true story of three extraordinary
characters – William Fisher, alias Rudolf Abel, a British born KGB
agent arrested by the FBI in New York City and jailed as a Soviet
superspy for trying to steal America’s most precious nuclear
secrets; Gary Powers, the American U-2 pilot who was captured when
his plane was shot down while flying a reconnaissance mission over
the closed cities of central Russia; and Frederic Pryor, a young
American graduate student in Berlin mistakenly identified as a spy,
arrested and held without charge by the Stasi, East Germany’s
secret police.
By weaving the three strands of this story together for the first
time, Giles Whittell masterfully portrays the intense political
tensions and nuclear brinkmanship that brought the United States
and Soviet Union so close to a hot war in the early 1960s. He
reveals the dramatic lives of men drawn into the nadir of the Cold
War by duty and curiosity, and the tragicomedy of errors that
eventually induced Khrushchev to send missiles to Castro. Two of
his subjects — the spy and the pilot — were the original seekers of
weapons of mass destruction. The third, an intellectual, fluent in
German, unencumbered by dependents, and researching a Ph.D. thesis
on the foreign trade system of the Soviet bloc, seemed to the Stasi
precisely the sort of person the CIA should have been recruiting.
He was not. In over his head in the world capital of spying, he was
wrongly charged with espionage and thus came to the Agency’s notice
by a more roundabout route. The three men were rescued against
daunting odds by fate and by their families, and then all but
forgotten. Yet they laid bare the pathological mistrust that fueled
the arms race for the next 30 years.
Drawing on new interviews conducted in the United States, Europe
and Russia with key players in the exchange and the events leading
to it, among them Frederic Pryor himself and the man who shot down
Gary Powers, Bridge of Spies captures a time when the fate of the
world really did depend on coded messages on microdots and brave
young men in pressure suits. The exchange that frigid day at two of
the most sensitive points along the Iron Curtain represented the
first step back from where the superpowers had stood since the
building of the Berlin Wall the previous summer – on the brink of
World War III.
