Teddy and Sasha are malcontents from opposite sides of the wall: friends to the endliterally. Spies: double agents if you will. Here you shall find all of the grueling detail of their tempestuous relationship, from the early cold war years, through the downfall of the wall, to the anti-terror campaigns of Iraq Part II. Here also is all of the snide wit in the authors repertoire as he chronicles his protagonists histories to what he calls the second siege of Heidelberg: a denouement that will make you shriek with rage. While he does pound his points across with unrelenting reiteration (à la Zola), stick with him; the end is worth the means.
