Presidential secret agent Lanny Budd is called back into action in post-war Germany as the Cold War begins Since the age of thirteen, Lanny Budd has been more than an eyewitness to history. From the Paris Peace Conference to the Battle of the Bulge, he has played key roles in the extraordinary events of his age. Now, forty years later, Presidential Agent 103 is coming out of retirement to serve his country--and the free world--once more. A counterfeiting conspiracy hatched by unrepentant neo-Nazis threatens to gravely damage America's efforts to rebuild and stabilize a divided Germany. Lanny's previous experience, as well as his unexpected connection to one of the chief conspirators, makes him the ideal operative to foil the sinister plot. But when he infiltrates the Russian-controlled sector, what Lanny sees makes his blood run cold. Communist leader and former US ally Joseph Stalin has twisted the socialist ideals he holds dear into weapons of tyranny, oppression, and terror. With the onset of a shadow war between two world superpowers, Lanny realizes that his mission is far from over. The Return of Lanny Budd is the final volume of Upton Sinclair's Pulitzer Prize-winning dramatization of twentieth-century world history. A thrilling mix of adventure, romance, and political intrigue, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of the author's vision and his singular talents as a storyteller.

This book is set after the war and tackles the Cold War and the fight for German democracy. It perhaps over-sings the superiority of USA for the modern ear as we now know torture is used and it’s not as fantastically democratic a country as he suggests - negroes at the time he was writing didn’t have the vote. But it is a deep fascinating tale from a socialist US writer. ( )
