The only Major League ballplayer whose baseball card is on display at
the headquarters of the CIA, Moe Berg has the singular distinction of
having both a 15-year career as a catcher for such teams as the New York
Robins and the Chicago White Sox and that of a spy for the OSS during
World War II. Here, Dawidoff provides "a careful and sympathetic
biography" (Chicago Sun-Times) of this enigmatic man.
