He is assigned to the Army Security Agency and begins a life of covert operation as a voice interceptor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the late 1960s, McCurry arrives at Teufelsberg, a super-secret listening station in West Berlin. McCurry and his fellow operatives have direct access to some of the most sensitive conversations of top offi cials of the East German government's Central Committee in East Berlin. Unfortunately, McCurry's group of interpreters and analysts are supervised by regular Army personnel, who have no idea of the tasks being carried out by those under their command.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMcCurry's supervisors are more interested in how their troops perform on the drill field than how they are fulfilling their assigned intelligence mission, and that doesn't sit well with McCurry when national security is at stake. It doesn't take him long to recognize that it will require a combination of guile and humor to overcome the obstacles put in his path by clueless supervisors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut the incompetence of the leadership ultimately becomes deadly, forcing McCurry to make a choice between following orders ... or facing a court martial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chuck Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475949490\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45142246883443,"sku":"9781475949490","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_a4e06f13-350f-4bd4-a8e7-ff6fb69a3bd4.jpg?v=1782818014","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/mccurrys-war-9781475949490","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
