Charm School


I just finished Nelson DeMille's novel,"The Charm School".  It is about a secret training base in Russia that trains Secret agents to come to America as families to live among us. It is set in the Cold War of 1984 and a great read.  This book was written in the nineties but he researches so well that I got to look at life behind the old "iron curtain" and also taste life in a embassy.

I bring this up because on FX cable there is a new fiction series called the "Americans" and its subject is the same.  Communist spy families in the 1980's.  It is very close to the book in many ways.  

Both are tense and well written.

This is the right webpage for anyone who hopes
to find out about this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally
would want to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject that's been written about for a long time. Great stuff, just great!
