Dawidoff is a dogged reporter, trying to track down the true story of a man who did not want people to know much, if anything, about him.

Nevertheless, although not the best written book ever (the author focuses too much on himself), Moe Berg was indeed a facinating character. A Jewish ballplayer of modest talents, perhaps a spy (but how much remains a mystery), and certainly a character who could charm vuirtuall all he met, it's a quirky and interesting tale.

The "mysterious" in the title is quite apt; after reading the book, Mr. Berg remains something of a mystery.
