His mission: go behind enemy lines in Europe to assassinate the Nazi's chief nuclear scientist before the Germans develop an atomic bomb. Trading in his
catcher
's mitt for a trench coat, Berg must rely on his formidable, steel-trap intellect in a high-stakes game of cat and mousewith the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Jeff Daniels, Paul Giamatti, and Sienna Miller costar in this remarkable slice of forgotten history."--Container.
