Description
The Catcher Was a Spy: The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg A fascinating biography that reveals the complex life of a man who defied categorization. Moe Berg, a major-league baseball player, was also an OSS spy in Europe during World War II, and his dual careers are as intriguing as they are contradictory. Berg's life is a story of carefully constructed cover, with layers of identity that were both glamorous and equivocal. From his claustrophobic childhood to his years living on the hospitality of acquaintances such as Joe DiMaggio and Albert Einstein, Berg's story is one of psychological detection and historical discovery. This book, written by Nicholas Dawidoff, is a riveting account of Berg's life, which is as engrossing as a novel by John le Carré.
