The Catcher was a Spy by Nicholas Dawidoff Entry One

Going into this book, I have a good bit of prior knowledge.  I am aware of the many achievements of Moe Berg's life.  He made a long career from his baseball skills, which was important, but not as important as his career working undercover for the C.I.A.  He was an interesting guy that spoke many languages and ventured to many places.  I'm very interested to see how this book relates to our current theme of the blurred lines between fact and fiction.  As a C.I.A. agent, what goes on in your job is not supposed to be known at all by the public.  There are many stories about Moe Berg, many of which cannot be proved true or not.  That will make the book one that surely looks like a great read.
