I really enjoyed the parallel stories of significant events happening in the 1940-50's U.S. and the U.S.S.R. and how they eventually intertwined. There are many layers to this book and I think the author sensitively presents varying points of view and motivations of the key characters, especially as they grapple with homosexuality and freedom of expression. There are some loose ends yet the author does a good job distilling newly released books and information to create a book that I had a hard time putting down.

I enjoyed the story and found it disturbing that the propaganda tactics and censorship in the Cold War are still in play 2021 ie Facebook and Twitter
