This was a great read. The stories of the life of Moe Berg are so intriguing. It was very cool to see the stories from a new perspective, one which was perhaps better than my own. In the end of the book, Dawidoff takes a bit of a new perspective by viewing things from a more psychiatric point. He discusses how Berg was a bit of a madman throughout his life. He ends the book by explaining how often nobody knew where he was, and that it is the same way now as his ashes are buried somewhere in Israel that no one knows. At one point, however, Berg asks "... did Colonel Dix like me?" (Dawidoff 331) proving that Berg may have been a baseball player and a C.I.A. agent, but he was also a person like everyone else who was concerned about others' feelings towards him. This book was certainly worth the time and was a great reading experience.
