If you are at all interested in Cold War/spy type stuff READ THIS BOOK. It reads very quickly and the author effectively draws the reader into the story. Without giving too much away it’s safe to say that there is so much going on in this book. Basically everything and much more that you might expect from Cold War/spy book is in the book. The main focus of the book, his initials OG, displayed an unbelievable amount of courage and made some risky or poor decisions along the way. However, he was under an enormous amount of stress later in the book. Along the way he made great sacrifices which are still impacting him to this day.
