If you have watched the film Bridge of Spies --directed by Steven Spielberg with Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance as the main actors—you will find different angle and detail when you read the book. The film (released in 2015) was more telling about James Donovan (played by Tom Hanks) who appointed by American government as the lawyer of suspected Soviet spy Rudolf Abel who was arrested in the US at 21 June 1957, while in this book, the story of James Donovan was not too detail described, instead the book writer –Giles Whittell—told more about the story of William Fisher aka Rudolf Abel who had multiple disguise names such as Emil Goldfus, Martin Collins, Robert Callan, and many more. He was KGB colonel and the most senior undercover Soviet agent in North America from 1948 to 1957. The other figures who were written in this book, of course, were Francis Gary Powers, an American pilot who was captured when his spy plane shot down by Soviet Army, and Frederic Pryor, a young American student...
Life is beautiful, and also..., simple.
