Book synopsis

The gripping first-hand account of the events that inspired the major film Bridge of Spies, starring Tom Hanks, by the man at the centre of them all - James B Donovan. The capture and trial of Colonel Abel, the Soviet's most capable and effective spy revealed the chilling depths of the KGB's penetration of the West. But when American U2 spy plane pilot Gary Powers was shot down over Russia, both men's fate hung in the balance. The stakes couldn't have been higher. Strangers on the Bridge is the only inside account of the greatest spy story of the era and a real-life espionage. Reviews of Strangers on a Bridge: "Enthralling...Engrossing...Truly remarkable." (New York Times). "As compelling as The Spy Who Came in from the Cold except it happens to be true." (Life). "A top notch spy thriller." (Time).
