Dynasty of Spies - Paperback

by Dan Sherman (Author)

A saga following three generations of CIA officers from an author who has "considerable skill with espionage fiction" (Publishers Weekly).

John Dancer, idealistic founding father of the CIA, was the inside man for the Allies during the Russian Revolution. His more cynical son, Allen, carried on the tradition during World War II, eavesdropping on the Kremlin. And his grandson, Jessie, did the company's work in Vietnam--until he chose to challenge his harrowing heritage . . .
