Yes, Blackford Oakes is back. In Berlin. When The Wall goes up.

Before the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union gave President Kennedy an ultimatum. The C.I.A. was ordered to find out what it could about Soviet intentions, and in particular to make contact with a secret group of young German dissidents: the Bruderschaft. A carefree pair of young lovers rendezvous in a deserted railroad car of eerie origin, and through them Bruderschaft leader Henri Tod discovers the awesome secret. Blackford Oakes travels to the White House to meet with the young President, who has communed with de Gaulle and Macmillan and other world leaders, about whom he soliloquizes. Will the U.S. stand up to Khrushchev or --

Henri Tod, age thirty-three, has a master plan.

Once again, writing about High Noon in the Cold War, Buckley has created characters he cares about, as you will, in a novel of style and substance, wit and tragedy, seriousness and surprise.
