Description
On the eve of the Patriotic War, Soviet intelligence officer Alexander Belov crosses not only the geographical border between the two countries, but also the invisible line that separated the world of socialism from the fascist Third Empire.
The Soviet man was supposed to become a German Johann Weiss. And not just a German. On duty, Belov had to assume the guise of an enemy of his homeland, and his way of life and way of thinking outwardly should no longer differ from the way of life and from the morality of small and large predators of the Nazi Reich.
This was a difficult test for Alexander Belov, but he managed to cope with this test, and in his advancement to sources of information that were important for his homeland, Weiss-Belov managed to pass through all layers of Nazi society.
“Shield and Sword” is a unique work. This is both a social novel and a psychological novel, built on a sharp plot, on deeply dramatic collisions, which are determined by the sharpest contradictions of two antagonistic worlds.
