More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the book explores the controversy surrounding a groundbreaking 1962 documentary about a Berlin Wall tunnel escape. Produced by NBC's Reuven Frank, the film sparked intense reactions from both sides of the Iron Curtain and raised ethical questions within the journalism community. Despite winning three Emmys, it faced pressure from the U.S. Department of State for its content, highlighting the tensions between media, government, and public sentiment during a critical historical moment.
