for Red Sox fans, this is a great read and gives some great insight. Unfortunately, the book meets a hurried ending and seems like its commander Queeg and the strawberries with Francona's obsession with finding out who leaked his personal business.

The Catcher Was a Spy - Book Review
As a baseball and history fan, I have always known the story of Moe Berg. Nicholas Dawidoff gives a thorough look into the mysterious life of this famous catcher and spy. If you are a fan of baseball history, then this book is for you. Dawidoff puts in old parks and into the life of a brilliant scholar athlete who could never leave the game behind.
As a Bostonian, I especially enjoyed the in depth descriptions of the city and its famous stores and hotels.
